left to the wind
in thin December branches
wisps of an old nest

Absolutely love this – and yeah, those wisps sneak up on ya …
Happy New Year, fella.
Thanks, Jen. First real ‘haiku moment’ piece of writing for a while.
And very best wishes for 2018 🙂
Those moments are a gift!

Love the movement in this!
Thanks, Nosaint. Glad you enjoyed the haiku 🙂
A wonderful haiku! We have an old nest in a tree in our garden and I could picture it so well. Thanks for the snippet of Nina Simone!
Thanks, Kim. I’ve been very impressed with the nest building abilities of our local birds – they’re building veritable mansions made of sticks! Glad you enjoyed Nina 🙂

Lovely haiku! Thanks for sharing Nina Simone. I have some of her music and love it.
Yes, Nina is great isn’t she? And I’m glad you liked the haiku 🙂
