Sara Kendrick Poet Haiku

Male Red Cardinal

male red cardinal
rules the feed trough by strong force...
nuthatcher eats seed

I was watching the birds at 
some food that I had placed 
out on a steroform plate..
A Male Red Cardinal would
run all the birds away then
this tiny little Nuthatcher
would fly in and get one
seed..The Cardinal seemed
to keep watch while the 
Nuthatcher ate maybe 
five or six seeds..

Andrea Dietrich January 12, 2014 at 12:19 PM maybe you should use "steals" for "eats" since the red bird is allowing him to get in there and get one!!! While the others can't. It makes you wonder why this bird is allowed to get away with it!!

Richard Lamoureux January 10, 2014 at 9:05 AM I enjoyed this Haiku, it made me think of throwing bread to pigeons when you have an agressive one that trys to scare of the weaker ones.

Kelly Deschler January 9, 2014 at 3:53 PM We see cardinals all year long here in Wisconsin. I think they are the most beautiful in the wintertime, when their red color contrasts with the white snow. A very nice haiku, Sara. Well done!...Thank you for the kind visit. I really do appreciate it!
