Wonder (haiku)

,

Sparrows gather
beneath the elm, morning chant
cat sits in wait
~
whistling wind
grassland due south
scarecrow lost his hat
~
crystal gems
wintry garnished scenery
I slipped and fell

    Ugh! Those naughty stray cats! The neighborhood stray killed all the doves at my house, sadly. 😦

    Still! I like how you’ve handled “surprise” here. 🙂

    But what a way to go down! (I hope you didn’t hurt yourself too badly though.)

      Yes, well I`ve confronted Mister Winter this year and put studs on the soles of my boots now. The icy sidewalks have not melted since Jan 1st but I showed ’em 😉
