Another Friday, another haiku for you.
Woodpecker swoops in
Seeds fly willy-nilly
A Junco’s delight

Today’s haiku is actually a tanka, just to see if you’re paying attention. As always, you can respond in haiku if you wish, or not in haiku, for that matter. Enjoy.
A cardinal, its fire
blazing red,
on the last green branch
summer hopes
frozen
Feel free to respond with haiku of your own in the comments.
Blossoms in winter

I’m starting something new — Friday haiku. I hope you respond in the comments with haiku as well. No judgment, just fun.
Red-tail hawk,
lord of earth and sky —
who invited these crows?
Do we comprehend reality?
That, finally, all we are
are faults in time, enough to pause
the relentless entropic urge,
but never to stop it?
All humanity has imagined
that it alone was the point,
all those nameless, greaseless corpses,
a poverty of sand and wind.
Who ever remembers them?
We have our own issues,
our own duty,
to create a universe
to be forgotten in its turn.
