talon-ted osprey
grabbing fish from the river
for fledglings dinner
*
squawking seagull cries
loves to steal other bird's fish
complains all the time
*
oyster catcher's beak
so bright like a popsicle
orange, red, pink mix
*
tuxedoed skimmer
glides across surface water
along sandy shore
*

Haiku honoring Cranes, sacred to Japan, which includes Okinawa
rain lightly falling
cranes under pine are busy
preening their feathers
spring time in Japan
cranes welcome the warm weather
standing in the sun
early morning fog
crane sits alone on the rock
sleepy hazy day
cranes flying over
wide sweeping misty marshland
will they land to rest
crane waits at brookside
over tiny rocks, waters
are gently trickling
(Haiku Poem)
