Notes About The Poem

6/15/2026 for A Bird Haiku Set Of Two - Nature Themed Poetry Contest sponsored by Tania Kitchin

mourning doves

silly mourning doves 
flit from roof to tree to roof - 
hopping and dancing

matching move for move
under the warm, bright spring sun ~
chicks hatch in a month

Your "mourning doves" is a lovely write. Yes, they dance. "Good Luck" I did, "red cardinals." Have a creative/fun day writing away..............

Yup, some of these birds get pretty ridiculous, but funny, in their mating behavior!
