My daily Poem FEB 03, 2004

this dusk a robin repeatedly

sang a seven syllable song

outside my window

striking a note

with my haiku quest,

racking my poetry mind.

among the birds, i

harvested light

three liner poems

abundant as feathers.

Their over enthusiastic chirps

louder than our chats

as they share the day's

adventures on trees

at the bus station;

their seemingly unstoppable

flipping tails, excitements and

everlasting songs as they

look for adventures

among the blooms;

the clawing and pensive chirps

of a fallen swallow

as it affixed its eyes on the sky

and the overwhelming peace

as the birds swam in a forest lake

without a care of the world.

at a seaside resort once,

a heroic sea eagle flagged

and transported me into a world

of courage with its song.
