Meme: Haiku Birdwatching

Just now I saw two indigo buntings at my birdfeeder. Plus, April is National Poetry Month and April 30 is Poem in Your Pocket Day. This gave me an idea for a meme.

Haiku Birdwatching Meme

1) Watch for birds today.
2) Write a haiku about one or more birds you have seen.
3) Post it on your blog.
4) Encourage other people to do the same and to reply with a link.
5) Enjoy the poems flitting around the Internet. Maybe you'll find one that you want to put in your pocket.

Here is mine:

The meme itself just missed out on being haiku...

Watch for birds today.
Write a haiku about them.
Post it on your blog.
