Haiku #86

Vernal equinox.
Early migrant birds get worms -
and prime building sites.

  1. Very amusing the thought of a bird utilising "prime" real estate

  2. furrowing away
    has many advantages
    if your name is Vern.

    That was pure nonsense,
    but I wrote it anyway -
    I can't help myself.

  3. yes, the early bird gets the worm and the best nest site.

  4. All
    Thanks for those. Liked the Haiku. Have been thinking whether nonsense haiku might be a possibility - can't be reconciled with the genre, I know. Still, there can't be a law against it.

  5. Loved this.

    Why can't you reconcile nonsense with the genre? Is it inherently so serious? We often make funny haikus here at a bi-monthly contest sponsored by a variety radio show.

    How about

    Life is easier
    for the birds who build their nests
    free from zoning rules.
