Haiku + Senryu

Haiku is a seasonal, reverent celebration of a subject (nature or people) trying to make a feeling.
Senryu tends to have a victim and may be humorous or irreverant trying to make a point.
- paraphrased from Michael Dylan Welch's Graceguts

Eggshells




Blissful cockatoo
Feasts on liquid amber fruits
Like cracking eggshells


NOTE
This is a feature of our Autumn on the Mornington Peninsula.
Waves of cockatoos invade the Autumn liquid amber tree to snap, crackle and pop the conkers and make a decidedly nauseating mess.
Their dining manners are not really up to scratch.

I like that Cockato and one more addition to the exotic birds found in your region (Mornington Peninsula)!! I can hear the crackle and pop !!

The liquidamber tree is new to me and learnt something here!!
