Rhythmic stone drilling
interlaced with chiseled bang
competes with bird song
A homework assignment to sit outside and write a Haiku about what do I hear.
The Invisble amongst us
"In January 2021, I was driving to see my mother at a local hospital. Traffic halted suddenly, and I was so happy I did not strike the vehicle in front of me. I gazed up in my rear-view mirror just as the vehicle behind struck my little sub-compact vehicle. "

Did the birds get louder and louder? (construction sounds, right?)
Cherish the people around you because they make life worth living. Make the most of every day and live it to the fullest because we never know how much time we have left. I wish you good health, a bright future and a happy life. May you always be surrounded by love and support. 🙏🙏🙏
You definitely live in the city. Birds have such a competition with machines. I wonder why birds don't all head for the country...so much quiet and worms to enjoy. Lovely poem.
This Haiku beautifully blends the sounds of nature and human activity together. The imagery of rhythmic stone drilling and chiseled bangs contrasted with the peaceful melody of bird song creates a vivid and engaging scene. The inclusion of a homework assignment adds a personal touch to the poem. Overall, this Haiku is well-crafted and evocative. I would give it an O+, welcome Daphsam.
Well according to me I loved this, its a SS teir
Well-wrought! Ah, city living! The birds and the trees and the bees win in the end, but tolerate the drillers even though they can be a bit of a bore...
This is describing when physical construction interferes with nature. I would give it an "A", but poetry is subjective isn't it not objective.
Great seasonal haiku.
