  1. Both thought provoking haiku. I was torn as to weather I should post a blackbird or a dark geometric scene,,, The latter won out.

  2. We have a few sluice gates in South Woodham. Have the dregs swallowed the river's apostrophe?
    Geometrics and the blackbird, now that's got me thinking.
    I've plumped for "a chick leaving the nest" A cylindrical home before entering a world of many shapes. Just hope they recognise the shape of that nasty cat. Thanks Rob I keep thinking of alternatives.

  3. First one very descriptive and easy to understand. Second, not so much but thought provoking all the same. Slowly, I am beginning to enjoy haiku's.

  4. I like both the haikus. The second one I needed to read twice to get.
