HAIKU
Five dead leaves falling apart onto the branches of a bare oak tree
THE END OF WINTER as I approach I start a group of sparrows that have been feeding in the grass and they flew up to the safety of an old oak tree it was still early enough in the year that the branches of the tree were bare
But the bird songs and the warm sun made me feel certain that winter was ending as I watch the sparrows dropped from the high perches and settled again in the grass to hunt for food like winter I was just an interruption
