Marianne, I like the way yours enfolds nature within our silliness.

Love this. I can see the cuckoo switchers going on ;)
Switcheroo … hate these virtual keyboards.
Dear tinywords editor, I am now receiving two duplicate email a day. One is good. Please delete one.
Thanks,

John, I apologize for the duplicate emails. I've found the source of the problem and (I think) fixed it.
I loved the extra reminder to visit Tinywords! :-)

Those darned cuckoos! :-) I'm not sure any will be visiting the UK anymore. They were often the first sign of Spring and the BBC would broadcast who heard one first.
Enjoyed your nifty haiku!!!
Alan

Wishing you all the best!
Perhaps the ultimate April Fool's joke! Nature's sense of humor…

Thanks for reading and commenting folks. I appreciate it! Stay safe, stay well, write haiku while sheltering in place. It is a record of our times.
