Friday haiku 34

This is your brain on haiku.

Learn to love sparrows
they said. I did.
Now there’s love on every corner.

Learn to love sparrows
they said. I did.
Now there are starlings.

Learn to love sparrows
they said. I did.
But so did the kestrel.

Learn to love sparrows
they said. I did.
They are jealous lovers.

Learn to love sparrows
they said. I did.
They’re building a condo in the rose garden.

Friday haiku 28

There are songs of hawks
and poems about eagles
but never starlings
