Work 'n Play
hungry mouths open
fed by beak not eyedropper
nature is winning
~~~~~
bird of red tipped black
buried in green waxy leaves
playing hide 'n seek
~~~~~
camera ready
sun peeks over my shoulder
black bird sneaks away

Ok, this is the part the wonderful people can ignore as usual, but those few who aren't: a simple reminder that my words are meant to remain here unless you have asked me - in writing. And -- yeah, that also means a response from me in writing is required.

that last one really made me smile - isn't it so often the way?
A sense of wonder today from your haiku. :)
I fed with an eyedroper at one time when I was young and trying to rescue a baby sparrow. Nature won then buy taking the baby back to the earth. Your first haiku is a fine reminder of what happens when we are good stewards and let nature be.
I loved the last one..:D
I love the feeling of these - the whole relationship between bird and person.
And for that last one, just last night, I said to my husband, "Hey, look at that cardinal!" only to have him hide before my husband saw him. How does a bright red bird disappear like that?
love it :)
You captured in words in that last what you could not get in the camera. :-)
Each haiku is wonderful! It always amazes me how a mother bird can keep up with feeding all those hungry babies' beaks. And the colors in your second haiku create a beautiful picture in my mind. And in the third one, I love the how the "sun peaks" and the "black bird sneaks" -- it sounds really cool.
:)
The theme of the last haiku just happened to me a few minutes ago, except that it was not a black bird, but a mockingbird. I enjoyed all three.
Vivid! The third one might be my fave but it would be a hard choice. Nice selection, for sure!
Lovely, playful haiku that capture the elusive nature of our feathered friends! Well done :)
I love the hide n seek, but the third one is my favorite, too.
I like the "realness" of these, especially the last one!
The last one is perfect. Its like a fairy tale ending, or a fable about light and dark.

Beautiful images of nature. :)

I love your hopeful nature of the first and the sense of fun with the other two. "Waxy leaves" in the second really called to me. Your third one could be about almost anything when it comes to me and my camera!
