2538



repeated strains of
kiskadee kis kiskadee
as morning unfurls

❧✿❧

locked in earth day -
rediscover earth's beauty
internet surfing

❧✿❧

who remembers them
before social distancing -
chummy yummy hugs

A HAPPY 50TH anniversary of EARTH DAY TO ALL

Since its inception in 1970, Earth Day continues to grow as a worldwide phenomenon focused on promoting clean living and a healthy, sustainable habitat for people and wildlife alike. Celebrating Earth Day serves as a conscious reminder of how fragile our planet is and how important it is to protect it.

Beautiful is the first one in its depiction of unfurling but I had to look up the Kiskadee. I see it's a South American native. The second one made me chuckle, and how I miss those hugs mentioned in the third.

Lovely presentation of Haikus, Gillena.

Much love and Happy Earth Day!

Sometimes we need a repeated refrain just to get back on course.

Each of your haikus is lovely ... my favorite form.

There now, you've featured a couple of my favorite things …. kiskadees and hugs!

These left me sighing (for hugs and pretty birds). The last one is a great glimpse of the times.

We've had to change up so many things since the pandemic. But fortunately the birds keep singing.

Delightful, all. Oh, just the words 'chummy yummy hugs' conjured them up vividly.

Jenna said...

I appreciate the irony of the second poem. Also, I like the "chummy yummy hugs" and miss them.

Sadly humans are pretty stubborn but I agree surely we must learn something from all this. P.S. Thanks for the Kiskadee's message!
