The Mocking Bird Sat

.

                                          The Mocking Bird Sat
                                          Quizzically looking in...
                                        Broken drained bird bath






(My bird bath is 
broken..The 
Mocking Bird
sat on the rim
looking at me
in the kitchen
like he was 
asking me 
what is wrong here.)

O those birds don't miss a trick, Sara. I could picture it looking at you through the window, asking "what is wrong here." Gotta love those birds! Hope all's going well with you and yours. God's blessings to you all! Mikki

What a cool image, Sara. I can just see the mocking bird searching for the water in the bird bath and looking at you in dismay. Great haiku! Love, Carolyn

A sweet picture u presented Sara .. our birds are totally confused with our awful weather pattern.. we have bird houses all over and it is so cold I don't believe I even hear them singing so much ... they get used to us doing for them and I can just see the mockingbird staring at u with this questioning look on his face luv... hope it gets fixed soon..
