filling the bird feeder--
snow finds the hole
in my mitten

—Claudette Russell

About the author: I'm a retired high school English teacher and live with my husband Frank in Hampton, Connecticut. Over the years my humorous essays have been published as op-ed pieces in various newspapers. Recently I decided that I wanted to try a different type of writing and began writing poetry.

    full feeders
    my sandles packed with snow

    Claudette,

    I love haiku like these that can be read in several different ways. It's gratifying to think of the snow acting to fill the feeder and to find the hole. Thank you for this!

    I enjoyed your haiku and agree with your choice of editing avoiding a pivot line.

    Looking forward to more haiku from you! ;-)

    blue sky
    filling the space
    between the fronds--
    this jay
