caged bird
sings song of clouds
free bird winks
free bird
sings song of golden cage
caged bird sighs
breaking dawn
cuckoo plays the flute
time for school
soothing dusk
melodious birds gather
seeds of peace
This Haiku is shared with Carpe Diem and the Prompt is Birdsong.
May they gather all the seeds of peace and sing it to the sky!

DeleteLoved the contrast between caged and free birds...As for the thoughts about gathering seeds of peace, simply brilliant GS:)
ReplyDelete'seeds of peace' - beautiful! I always feel a knot in my heart when I see a caged bird....what's the point?
ReplyDeleteBirds shouldn't be caged ... they look better among the clouds !!!
