For the last three years, I've intentionally spent time writing and sharing a Haiku-A-Day for the month of December. The first two years I exchanged a daily Haiku privately with willing friends, mostly through text and email. Last year I wrote and shared each Haiku on my blog. Throughout this process, I've discovered that the practice of noticing and reflecting through writing a Haiku grounds me, provides with with a certain kind of peace, assists me with better practicing gratitude, and helps me better navigate this "hurry up" world. This year my goal is the same as last year: to pen and publish a daily Haiku on my blog throughout December.
Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #27:
Bird Feeding
Bird Feeding
My dad knows the best spots for birding. Today he took us to Goose Island, a local county park along the Mississippi River where birds are known to eat sunflower seeds right out of your hand (or off your head).

Bring chickadees near.
Goose Island sounds like a wonderful and magical place. I love the repetition of the /s/ sound that reminds me of a hummingbird’s wings whirling.
