Nature Haiku

a thousand birds sing hidden in green veiled branches- squirrels scamper by and bushy tail sways with squirrel hesitation- a black crow swoops low the birds are silent and squirrels scurry away- a deep waiting pause _________________________ June 4, 2020 Poetry/Traditional Haiku/20200604-2 Copyright Protected/All Rights Reserved Constance La France/Canada Written for the Standard contest, Fresh Traditional Haiku sponsor, JCB Burl Second Place
