Carolyn Devonshire February 24, 2021 at 1:38 PM 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

Anne-Lise Andresen February 24, 2021 at 10:13 AM - 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 :)

Gershon Wolf February 24, 2021 at 9:46 AM 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

Ilene Bauer February 24, 2021 at 9:42 AM very uplifting imagery, jan - both the poem and the pictures! i'm ready for spring, more than i ever have been...

Victor Buhagiar February 24, 2021 at 9:14 AM Great scene. Crowns need nests too.
