Nice haiku my dear Sara. You know we have many common things. We follow each other for a while. At this time you must know I love birds, and these days they sing beautifully. Such a beautiful haiku. Love/ María

Yes, I remember you love birds as do I. I'm fascinated with the delicate strength and their ability to sing so loudly and joyfully. They are in full choral force these days. Hugs, xo, Sara

A serene and endearing springtime poem, Sara. It's chilly here today, but the songbirds are quite active and the male cardinal warbles hid delightful song. Sweet blessings of April to you.
