fence-post sentinel
strong wings lift…soar swift, silent
red-tailed hawk sights prey

a poem in my pocket

This is timely–I’m nurturing a poem on the same subject. We had baby ducklings on the water hazard outside our backyard–2 sets–11 and 9. Yesterday there was only one left. Today, I haven’t seen it, but a hawk has taken up residence in a nearby tree. Such is nature.

You have really brought this bird to life with your words.

Great evocation of this majestic bird in your haiku, Lynndiane!

so majestic…so deadly
but its nature…we see hawks
every once in a while
better run little field mouse…
smiles.
