Pat,
I liked your haiku. I notice in your bio you say you are an editor. Could you e-mail me the info (name of journal/site, address, etc.)?
Sincerely,
David Fox davidirafox@yahoo.com
As it happened, this haiku was published last week when I was on a beach vacation with my family — on a day when we saw a busload of teenagers disembark and start playing games on the beach. No kingfishers but lots of bad haircuts!

the sea lion watches us
edge into the surf

headache, morning after-
the mockingbird song
floods my room
Pat, your haiku made me smile. Everybody’s a critic… even this kingfisher! Thanks.
Patricia
Thanks for your kind responses. If any bird knows a bad haircut, it’s the kingfisher.
