HAIKU

Five dead leaves falling upward on top of the branches of a bare oak tree
THE END OF WINTER
As I approach I startle a group of sparrows that had been feeding in the grass and they flew up to the safety of an old oak tree it was still early enough in the year that the branches of the tree were bare
But the bird songs and the warm sun made me certain that winter was ending as I watched the sparrows dropped from their high perches and settled again in the grass for food like winter I was just an interruption
