searches ground for easy worm
one eye on the sky.

hangs like gauze in bare branches
blackbird disappears.

Gorgeous Betty!
I love haiku and you excel at it in my opinion. This form of poetry really helps me with mindfulness practice, which I try to do every day. Its becoming the way I manage this horible condition without going down a self pity path!
Hope you are doing ok and feeling well 😊 xx

Thank you, Christine. Haiku does the same for me – a practice of mindfulness, and nowadays the only form of poetry possible when it’s painful to do much of anything. You have always inspired me to avoid that “self pity path”. I often think of you, and say, “if Christine can be so positive and cheerful in all she faces each day, then so can I.” Thank you for that!
Wishing you as much well-being as possible. Thank heavens for the joy we find in nature – the small beautiful things that expand our lives. 🙂

Thank you for this lovely reply Betty, it is very much appreciated.
We have a glorious day here with warm sunshine! I have been sitting in and having a wander round the garden. I never thought Id say it but thank God for my four wheeled walker! I call him Wilbur, by the way!! 😊 The sunshine will be short lived though, I hear cold weather and rain are on the way! Xx

Glad you had such a warm, sunny day and were able to spend time in your garden. Oh, the delight of that (which I used to take for granted). We’re having a second day of sunshine (the sun finally broke through the fog) and the leaves on the trees are brilliant with color – I’m savoring every moment. As you say, colder weather and rain are coming soon here too. (I’m hoping for some snow this winter – more beauty to enjoy – or curse, if we must go out in it. 😀 )
Love and hugs to you!

Ah, yes, the migration. The migratory birds have now all left. But we still do enjoy those that stay around all year and keep us company and entertained. Gorgeous haiku!
