Summertime

silk thread hangs from leaf
     caterpillar in suspense 
        bird flies off agape

Jenna Logan Date: 6/24/2022 6:33:00 PM That’s one caterpillar that will not morph into a butterfly. Love your Haiku, David. Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 6/24/2022 8:13:00 PM Heya Jenna, I’d say if it can pull itself back up into the leaves it may have a chance, they bungee jump off to escape predators, hang still for a while, and if the bird doesn’t twig what’s going on, it will usually fly off bemused with its beak agape, cheers David

Jeff Connelly Date: 6/24/2022 6:18:00 PM And the bird flew off with a grape???!!!... Oh agape. GREAT haiku David... Thanks...

David Kavanagh Date: 6/24/2022 8:07:00 PM Thank you Jeff, I believe the bird was agape in disbelief, when the caterpillar bungeed off the leaf, what a great escaping technique, cheers David
