A Joyful Noise

haiku

Happy National Haiku Poetry Day!

April 17, 2018 by Melodye Shore

Little wings flutter
Morning starts with eyes smiling
Birdbath needs filling. ~Ormond

 

I had my doubts, but our burbling fountain is already attracting hummingbirds. Goldfinches, too! I snapped these photos through our backyard slider, so as not to interrupt their private bath. Can you spot the bird behind the lemon tree leaves, patiently waiting her turn?

Red’s not my favorite color, but our backyard fountain draws quite a crowd. And lucky me, I have a front-row seat to sweet moments like these, all day long.

As with haiku poetry, simple pleasures really are the best.
