  3. I have no lawn but I throw raisins out all the time, the blackbirds are always first about in the morning, and usually beat the starlings to them! x

    Your raisins make a nice metaphor for haiku.

  15. I still don't really know how you do a haiku-but yours sounds nice.-If I threw raisnins on the lawn-the neighborhood kids would probably get to them before the blackbirds did!
