Laura Leiser Poet Haiku

Respite

                               jagged icicles 
                           drops of frigid winter 
                         quench sparrow’s thirst

Bill Baker January 15, 2022 at 3:29 PM Lovely Haiku, Laura, and thanks for thinking of my little feathered friends. :-) I worry sometimes about the little birds we feed, when it goes below freezing. Smiles and blessing, Bill

John Watt January 12, 2022 at 10:53 PM I love the contrast of jagged/frigid with the little sparrow just patiently hoping for a few drops of water to drink. Lovely imagery.

Michelle Faulkner December 29, 2021 at 9:13 PM Your words hold such crystal clarity I can feel the cold drops melting, also like the hopeful feel with the sparrows! Laura Leiser December 30, 2021 at 9:23 AM Thank you, Michelle! So happy you liked this one! :)
