heads together
cooing a gentle duet
love’s ancient symbol

My response to Carpe Diem Special (3rd guest) Herman van Rompuy’s 3rd “birds in concert”
In another CD Special by Herman van Rompuy (former President of Belgium and President of the EU), Chèvrefeuille has shared three haiku to inspire us:
spring has come;
a nameless hill
is shrouded in thin mist
© Matsuo Basho (Tr. Blyth)
birds in concert
one sings above all others
I don’t know its name
© Herman van Rompuy (taken from: Haiku, by him)
at sunrise
sunrays on my naked body
birds singing
© Chèvrefeuille
yes…lovely!

Where I grew up, in the local park there was a dove cote, with doves still in it, that hundreds of years ago belonged to monks. I used to love to sit and watch the doves.
