Notes About The Poem

A Bird Haiku Set of Two Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Tania Kitchin. Date written: 06/17/2026

The Baltimore Oriole


                    unmistakable
 the knife slicing through daybreak ~
         songs heard near and far

               a striking beauty
            the baltimore oriole ~
         bird of my home state
