Ann Peck Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

6/19/2026

For the contest, "A Bird Haiku Set of Two," by Tania Kitchin

the hawk, hawk

       the hawk

raptor sometimes called
black death or stealthy fighter
hawk owns names proudly

            
             hawk

hawk soars above clouds
then dives fearlessly toward prey
clever is the hawk
