My daily poem - Flying with Haiku

this dusk a robin repeatedly sung a song

outside my window striking a note

in my haiku quest, these seven syllables

that added another dimension to my life.

birds share with me new consciousness

in their paradise; their frantic chirps

louder than our chats as they

returned to roost on trees near the busstops;

their seemingly unstoppable flipping tails and

everlasting songs as they stole into

the garden, looking for adventures;

the clawing and chirping of a swallow

as it stared towards sky and

the joy and glee in a forest lake

where so many varieties of birds

swam without a care of the world.

at a seaside resort once, a sea eagle's

heroic flaps and whistles gave me

new courage to face the world.
