first ice

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


first ice -
a sparrow picks
at its reflection


The bird bath is covered with thin ice,
and the sun is just coming up ...

    Very nice moment to capture, Gabi. So much in the wordplay here. "ice - pick"

    Picking up where the pecking order left off?
    I like your play with ice pick...also the hint of grooming. Wonderful winter haiku.

    Yes another highly polished one Gabi. I like the use of 'picks' in this one.

    Hi Gabi,
    seems Boston and Tokyo are on/around the same parallel (sic)and it was extra warm with your winter moths but now I'm enjoying your sparrows pecking at their reflections. it just dropped to 15 here south of the olde town, but it seems you have the same northern hemisphere dip. I'm going to enjoy these winter ku of yours while I bundle up.
