I think I'll find some info about swifts to post for those people who don't get the chance to see them, or who aren't birdwatchers. I write about them so often, it's only fair to let everyone know what I'm talking about!Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-1152348943241181442006-07-08T09:55:00.000+01:002006-07-08T09:55:00.000+01:00Oh this is a great Haiku!

I enjoyed the poetry magazine as well, and may be back to try my luck there sometime.

But I like the structure of your poem very much: arrival, departure, and constant flight - as if there are no final arrivals and departures.<BR/><BR/>That's how it makes me think anyway.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046788730174617923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-1152041264713749922006-07-04T20:27:00.000+01:002006-07-04T20:27:00.000+01:00saw the magazine blog ...love the idea...saw the magazine blog ...love the idea...iamnasrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030794699915000249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-1152020121255654512006-07-04T14:35:00.000+01:002006-07-04T14:35:00.000+01:00Wonderful word image!
