What a becoming image, Mark...this is lovely. You are obviously a gifted student.  ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Eagle in the tree Resting there so quietly Soon will take to flight.. Mark....as I type this, there is an eagle outside my front window, a 100 yards away! Have you ever seen a bald eagle take a nap?? Loved your Haiku....aren't they fun? Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Very well done. Looks like we got some Haiku lessons going on here. This is how I learn, from the other poets. You're already in the classroom. Excellent vision in this Haiku Liz |
