Let me introduce the Common Hoopoe:
It can raise its crown when it wants to.
With me, it didn't (as you may have guessed;)
I suppose it was just unimpressed.

“A Minor Bird” by Robert Frost [w/ Audio]
I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;
Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.
The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.
And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song.

Lifelike? [Senryū]
lifelike bird sculpture
doesn’t fool the insect
that lands on its beak.

Winter Fields [Haiku]
tawny grain stalks,
unkempt, like mussed hair;
a bird flies out.

Ostrich [Lyric Poem]
For the Ostrich, I feel quite bad:
The bird's great gift, it never had.
But, a flighted one, I don't wish to see;
I'd hate to have a falling one land on me.

Leaf Thief [Haiku]
a bird absconds
with a tree's last few leaves
for its Winter nest.
