The Early Bird

aftermath of storm
curious earthworms emerge
dinner bell's timbre

Your haiku number close to 40 or 50 and I think you have not been a member so long, have you? That is outstanding! by the way, I love this one!

Such beautiful imagery John and I love the use of the word 'timbre', it sounds wonderful and it's just a lovely looking word to read. A vivid haiku that I truly enjoyed!

wonderful imagery and I adore that final line - they have something over here called 'worm charming' and they try to emulate rain and see how many worms come out of the ground is a set patch of ground!:-) hugs jan xx

Thanks so much, Jan. The last line jumped into my head first and I wrote the rest to lead up to it. "Worm charming" sounds interesting - do you eat what you catch?! ;) Regards, John.
