Shivering Flocks

egrets on shore
absorb cold, harsh winds...
    shivering flocks

Hi there gal friend, haiku are numbered OR the first line is used as the title, strive for 2 parts [1 part is two conceptually and gramtically connected lines..you have this in your lines 1 & 2 though I would chose cold OR harsh] now the single line must be something else which relates to the topic and is connected to the concept somehow but not the same topic..to me you have no cut here no juxtaposed image or other sense..think of a different line 3 other than the birds..

Funny and scary at the same time, my friend. My mum had an enema before she had me and said the other people in the hospital ward thought it was hilarious - until they had it too. Raquel used to love Enya and got sooo mad when I called her Enema : )
