. ."Big Owl" by Kaoro Kawano, Fair Use
Big Owl Sits
Big owl sits by pool
On duty all day and night
Scaring birds away
But when they catch him sleeping
Time for hot tub bath

Kerry would like us to write our poem after 'grazing' through some of the artist, Kaoru Kawano, and write what might come to mind. I am also gazing out the back window beside me and seeing the blackbirds using our hot tub as a bird bath.
Supposedly we can place a sculptured owl near the birds will stay away. Some say it work, some say not. I found this owl print in his portfolio on the WikiArt Internet site ( https://www.wikiart.org/en/kaoru-kawano ).
I love the idea of the small birds darting around waiting for the owl to fall asleep.Here I am fascinated by the hummers zooming around the feeder - especially today as a gale is blowing and they are storing up nutrients before they find a hiding spot.
ReplyDeleteMy mom has done this, and it keeps the pigeons off of her roof. ;)
ReplyDeleteLoved this piece.
How clever, Jim. I had no idea.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the last line of the second part scared me a bit. For a second there, I thought the birds were jumping into hot water.
I was drawn to that owl too and very nearly decided to use it. (Smile.) I enjoyed your senryu.
ReplyDeleteYou balance humour and observation very well in your senryu, Jim.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderfully deep and thoughtful senryu, Jim ❤️
ReplyDeletePatience will bring your turn...love it!
