Image result for feathers on window

you were a false blue sky, reflected - I, a sparrow winging to love too late realized - your heart, the cold, hard window ... to explain the truth. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "ku duet" Poetry Contest, Silent One, Judge & Sponsor. ( In honor of Vladimir Nabokov )

Thank you very much, John ... that was always a good thing, especially with Haiku and Monoku. Perhaps it wasn't enough about Nature. Happy for any placement, Friend ... you comment is my trophy. ;o)
