Monday Morning Haiku - September 15

She has bread


Instantly, at the
mere sight of the old woman 
five hundred pigeons

but were the pigeons in flight or not? That is the thing.
Now I see her as the equivalent of, much different image.

Had she had bread the whole time? I don't recall that line when I read it the first time. Of course she still would have had the bread, I just would not have known it.

Very good then, they are friends of a sort, the old woman and the pigeons.

Taffy: She had bread the whole time. As it confused you, I shall not count this among my better haiku attempts.
