down the narrow street -
pigeons scatter

invisible sparrows

I like those two haiku Juliet - they go together so well that I think they could be a double haiky!
ReplyDeleteI'm ecoming increasingly interested in haiku. It seems more complex to form than you would initially imagine.
ReplyDeleteLovely Haiku Juliet. So simple but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting and thought provoking link to the wind farms. They seem so harmless at first glance...!
Two very nice haiku from a very observant nature watcher. You are definitely right about sparrows.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. So few seem to get haiku. It's not an easy style. Well done.
ReplyDeleteLovely haiku! Have a wonderful week and holiday :)
ReplyDeleteI love your haiku! Also, I like your use of a varying number of syllables, too. Here's one to add to yours:

in the wind
tatter
Your photo is making me shiver.
ReplyDeleteChatter clatter scatter - pigeons sparrows dustcarts - good imagery!
Sorry I missed this earlier, Juliet.
ReplyDeleteI do like the way the two pieces complement each other. Pigeons do scatter, that's for sure and "chatter" is the ideal word for sparrows.
Love the poetry...I know that the wind turbines are a problem and we have a huge wind turbine farm near lake erie...
ReplyDeleteI forgot to thank you for posting to Nature Notes... Michelle
ReplyDeleteI love the walks you've been on and the pics. I got here and just smiled at the haiku(s)
ReplyDeleteI am out walking my dog at 7am and it's cold and dark,, but the sound of birdsong really lifts me to start the day.
I love the haiku. Great for nature notes.
