Parakeets (Haiku) Poem by Sandra Martyres

Yes...a catchy plummage...but 'fetching plummage'...is what? ...needs a re-read....good

Aren't all parakeets(and parakeets in disguise as other living creatures...) ? I go for fetching plummage. nice word, isn't it? 'Very fetching...' maybe add an 'a' though.

thank you Indira and Josephine for your comments....hope the new version is more clear...courtesy Carl Harris...Thanks Carl

Anyone familar with the Japanese style of haiku will quickly agree that this is a quite splendid example of the form, Sandra. The phrasing is perfect, as is the syllable count, and the haiku leaves the reader with that one thought to ponder, as is the purpose of all true haiku poems. The imagery of all haiku, which can only be about nature, is designed to give the reader that one clear thought and nothing more or less. That is the wonderfuly simplicity of great haiku and that is what I read in this excellent haiku poem. Carl.

a perfect haiku sandra...aggressors would use their plummage to fly..but this is taught to talk..walk out of the gauge pick up a card to predict our future

How does somebody in India know about parakeets? Anyway, this is an effective presentation and works well. Last line, I think the spelling is 'plumage'.

O yeh we have these budgies here they are sooooo cute a tenner from me for these natures aggressors heheeeeeeeeee

Wonderful 10+++
