You snap your finger
and I turn away, no puppet
but a bird of prey!

This one is not like the others on the ground, begging for scraps. This one is arrogant, my word!   |
He looks all scaly!
ReplyDeleteThose keas! When I was on the South Island several years ago, they just wouldn't leave my rental car alone!
ReplyDeleteI think that he is quite amazing and beautiful. I have not seen one before. Thank you for the beautiful image and haiku.

ReplyDeletei do do love it when haiku gives us glimpses into other terrains, new and fantastic creatures.
ReplyDeletethank you for being here and your lovely haiku.
please forgive my very late arrival. haiku my heart began with beauty and turned on a dime with a severe fever keeping me in bed for days.
i am so weak but thought i would try and at least let a few more know why they have not heard from me.
thanks for your understanding and your beautiful haiku.
love it,
ReplyDeletea bird of prey,
wow.
I love your haiku, Rosie! They say the kea is a very wily bird, keeping you on your toes! A little strange-looking but attractive: I love your ability to zoom in on the bird while keeping the snow-capped mountains a subtle background... Nice!
