The bird feeder

Feeder

Empty and alone
Fed upon all day, hanging
Waiting to be filled

Silent, unnoticed
So easily forgotten
and left wanting more

Haiku Friday

    Great Haiku. Have you been on a haiku hiatus or is it just my faulty memory? And dang is it hard to quickly type the word “haiku”.

    The photo and the haiku fit so well together. That orange indigo sky is breathtaking though.

    Seriously?

    I was there. Once before. I hated HATED hated cleveland. What’s there to like?

    But. I met some awesome women. To help me. Make the call. It sucks, I know. I know! I still hate Cleveland, but at least I have some people to “hang out” with.

    I don’t know if this poem is goin there. Im just letting you know. I think i understand. Being away from family SUCKS
