Birds, Haiku & other Poetry

Haiku #81: Sleepy Pelicans

The words this week for Ronovan’s Haiku challenge are trill & final.

I’ve used trill, but substituted terminating for final.
I’m using the Haiku in English Form (5 / 7 / 5 syllables)

I couldn’t decide on the photo. I know. Why not have all three!

Supposed to make two sentences…

No strident trill from cozy pelicans on high.
Cozy pelicans on high terminating sleep.

Not sure I nailed the ‘opposites’ rule.

Lots of little black ducks, some with white on their heads and some with white bottoms, and then these two bigger ducks – all on Tea-tree Lake within Mortlake’s Botanical Gardens. So it’s not just your average park.

Ibis, Eastern Swamp Moorhens and lots of other birds can be seen too. Despite my intentions, I never uploaded my photos to the laptop for the blog. Sorry. Perhaps tomorrow.

Mr R said he heard a buzzing noise. I reckon it was a scissors-grinder – a little black&white fly catcher. I saw one on our last walk around the lake.
