Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Haiku

The Day the Sky Fell

artillery spent
      
               battery chickens rising 

                   the avian spring 





...and now for something completely different, 
   this eighteenth day of May, in the year,
   two thousand and twenty. 



*battery - cage used for animal production
*artillery - rows and columns of batteries connected in a unit

Mark Koplin May 19, 2020 at 7:32 AM Another Great Haiku My Canadian neighbor! Well done my friend. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart May 19, 2020 at 7:45 AM Thank you Mark! Tough for a ku to compete in an open contest, but I do love the challenge. Do you have chickens on your farm? There's talk of repealing laws to allow chickens in town here. I'm tempted, but I'd still probably go pigeons ;),
