Hi! I volunteered this haiku for discussion on The Haiku Foundation. Clock in next Friday the 29th to join in or hear what people have to say. Regards, Petru Viljoen
That is pretty exciting news! I look forward to reading the different perspectives. Many thanks. Best wishes ~ Mary
Lovely, Mary! I can see the feather beneath the dogwood.
Sadly, birds die or get caught by a cat, etc. As a metaphor, we can all relate. 🙂 Thanks for commenting, Michelle. It’s always lovely to hear from you. ❤

Oooooh, leaves me hushed.
