Haiku with Wings

by Nizar Sartawi
(Amman, Jordan)

Hey little sparrow

your eyes keep staring at me

have we met before?

~ ~ ~ ~


a pigeon living

in our little garden

without paying rent

~ ~ ~ ~


heavy morning rain

swallows on the clothes line

drying their wet wings

~ ~ ~ ~


hanging in the air

a petite helicopter

the hummingbird

~ ~ ~ ~


tempestuous sea

a flock of angry seagulls

squawking at the waves
