It appears the lambs have a better life than the crows. Great haiku, Jan, and it can also be taken metaphorically as a statement on race. Excellent poem for my faves! Hugs, carolyn

- Lamb is a sweet sign of spring (I have not seen any yet) ... crows that build nests can be noisy :) - Best wishes in the contest, Jan :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I'm so glad that the 'Woke' have not outlawed 'gamboling' yet -- probably releases a minute amount of CO2 into the air, God forbid! Love the haiku, Jan! Cheers, Gershon
