stare of a blackbird
on a car antenna perched -
without a song spins

With a warbler for
a soul, it sleeps peacefully,
this mountain willow

I luv blackbirds. The ones that visit my garden and wall are grackles. They have the most adorable tails. They have black beaks and black feet

Well, the clip art i started with was just a bird silhouette, i got from google.I first added some background filter in colour, yes colour. This i dropped in PicArt magic filter. Then cloned some areas using Picmonkey and walla

My haiga background image for today.
The blackbird stare i spied on my way from church this morning. Of all places for a little bitd to perch😊
