Your haiku matches so well with the image of the mocking bird. Indeed she is in contemplation. :)

Moments of contemplation are useful in our everyday life, Sara. Even a bird must feel the need to lose itself in what could be a rewarding 'activity'. Regards // paul

Paul, I saw a mockingbird like this after a day and a half of rain pouring down. It looked as if it had just come out of its nests and was thinking about maybe food or water or maybe thank goodness freedom. I have felt that same way with the freedom part. Thanks for the visit. Sara

I wonder what he's contemplating; a beautifully penned Haiku.

I wonder as well, M.L., I know it is deep. Thanks for the visit. Sara

LOL, yes, they must sit on their nests & ponder the meaning of life

I did wonder what it was thinking that afternoon when it stopped raining. I was wondering if it was trying to decide if it was hugry or needing to escape the nest for a few minutes or just what was it contemplating. Sara

Kim, It had rained, sprinkled, or poured off and on all day the day before and part of that day with it finally clearing a little. I think it was trying to decide what it needed to do the most, eat, drink, or fly around a little. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Yes, spring is wonderful, Victor. I guess where you live the year mostly stays about the same or am I wrong. Thanks for your visit and added intrigue. Sara

Oh, Sara, these enchanting creatures are the very jesters of melody. My heart is captivated by the mockingbirds, for they engage in a profound contemplation of their own tunes.

Lasaad, I like the way they defend their territory protecting their young, food source and their mates. Thank your for your visit today. Sara

Sara, I do love the mockingbirds as they "contemplate" sound so they can repeat it. One summer I kept hearing an alarm clock. Finally figured out it was a mockingbird!!! They are delightful clowns of sound. Thanks for elevating this marvelous bird in your haiku! Blessings.

Sam, I guess that mockingbird felt that the alarm clock was a winner and just kept on using it. LOL..Around here they mostly use the same calls all the time but I have no idea what they mean. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Hello Sarqa, I wonder why the mocking bird complains. Hugs. /Darlene\

Hello Sara, I guess they complain because they figure a person could be harmful to them. They feel better in their space. Your welcome. Hugs. /Darlene\

Darlene, they complain if someone comes in their territory for one thing. They like their space to be their space. Thanks for the question. Sara
