Perfect Day, Working Outdoors



One loud shout from a crow
The sparrows and I start up, alert
but quickly return –
They to their hunting
I to my dreams

No idea what that crow wanted to tell us



Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this small poem. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
This space is where I play with American-style haiku, emphasizing ephemeral moments and sensations, but following the rhythm and structure of English, rather than the traditional Japanese.
