hikers wear bells
to frighten bears

  1. Thanks for this memorable Haiku.

    a squirrel ascends
    the mango tree ~ a parrot
    flutters spring melody~

    night forest silence~
    a disturbed bird call~
    sound of a river~

    misty forest dawn~
    sunlight conducts wild
    bird orchestras~
