Haiku 20

Put some feelers out.
Assess. Read the room. and then…
Let your freak flag fly!

A squirrel’s mobile
swinging high and out of reach.
This is for the birds!

Loyal protector
on guard, ever vigilant
He’s sure earned his rest

Been wound up lately,
living a life suspended.
Time to shake that off.

Leggy, nonchalant,
blasé — pretending she’s not
the gods’ messenger

Happy to admit:
sometimes things go on the list
just to be checked off

The path disappears
under fast, heavy footfall
which is how I’m found

Lilypad unfurls:
Am I a water blossom
or a spring peeper?
