Thank you for reading it. The bird isn't a follower.

Oh how cute, such a lovely haiku this is, dear Hilda.. You've beautifully painted a scene where birds too ponder and hesitate in leaving their warm place, why bother haha.. I can connect to this as it speaks about the feelings of an introvert too.. Loved reading this.. Sending many best wishes & light to you :)

Nice Haiku, Hilda. Some birds are smarter than others ... kind of like humans. Have a pleasant week, my friend. Bill

Thanks for laughing. I was thinking that s bird might think that he goes north, then south, then north again, and so why not cut the fat, sorta speak.

Sometimes even birds get comfortable being in their comfort zone, just like us. I feel this way alot as an introvert. Hah. Very well written dear hilda. Words to ponder upon
