Feathered acrobat

Small, but feisty and fearless

Loves to eat oranges

(I also have to note that my sister provided me with information on each bird,
so I can’t take all of the writing credit.)

The photos you will see are of my sister’s parrots.
I think they are amazing, so I decided to write a 5 part Haiku series
for all the bird lovers out there!

Imitates voices

Howls and talks with canine friends

Loves nibbling on toes

(I have to say his voice imitation is incredible!)

These were written for fun, but, honestly,
holiday travel can be a bit daunting,
even though we love road trips!
Hope you enjoy! 🙂

I. OBSERVATION

Driving or flying?
Benefit of tailgating?
Reckless road traveled

II. CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGES

More Innovation
Eco friendly progression
Helping Mother Earth

III. NIGHT ROLLING

Black sky surrounding
Red eyes watching us closely
Keeping our distance

RUSH HOUR

Never-ending race

with the circulating hands

Endless quandary

I had trouble getting a good image
without the glare and I also felt
this was appropriate during this wonderful,
yet, crazy time of year…
I hope you enjoyed~
