Respite

                               jagged icicles 
                           drops of frigid winter 
                         quench sparrow’s thirst

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

I love the contrast of jagged/frigid with the little sparrow just patiently hoping for a few drops of water to drink. Lovely imagery.

Your words hold such crystal clarity I can feel the cold drops melting, also like the hopeful feel with the sparrows!
