Haiku Moment: a pop-py
fuzzy fat pods hang
drooping from scrawny stems, then
a pop-py bursts forth

Haiku Moment: flycatchers
mournful calls echo
as watchful parents dash, dart
flycatchers nest here
flap, crack-winged warning
startles, drives out predator
hoping for a snack
poofed fledglings appear
flapping, dropping, flight attemps
offspring launch from home
flycatchers by Angie Quantrell
Every year for the past 7-8, we’ve had a pair of flycatchers nesting in the parking shed. It’s fascinating to watch them. And they eat flies (and all sorts of flying insects). Win-win for us.
Haiku Moment: spring fashion
cotton candy fluff
buzzy busy bees adorn
pink tree spring fashion

Lateral A, Yakima Valley
I was inspired to write this haiku after I read this poem by Danna Smith.
Haiku Moment: sings sweetly
unexpected joy
sings sweetly amidst carnage
that fails to dampen

Haiku Moment: hope
from dark and frigid
unseen grasps for blue and gold
hope springs eternal
