There’s a bird outside,

Its wings look torn to gold leaf,

The wind blows again.

A/N: What is your interpretation of this haiku? I had an idea when writing it, but upon review, I can see it could have many meanings! What does it mean to you?

Also quick note - I am thinking of bringing back 'See These Three' (where I list my top 3 reads for a period of time) but perhaps as a bi-monthly event on my account. In articles separate from my stories/poems. What do you think?
