Congratulations, Bill...
Glad to know others appreciate you. I find your poetry and support and example endlessly encouraging. Thankyou.
Thanks, Gillena, Frank, and jem
A comment I intended to post has apparently gone astray, so if you don't see a comment you sent, my thanks and apologies.
congrats, well deserved
Encore un très beau haïku! Je m'essaie avec une traduction :
la différence
que peut faire un moineau -
des branches nues
ou
ce qu'un moineau
peut changer -
des branches nues
Which one do you prefer ?
now and then some sparrows seen here, too!
snowy hedge -
a sparrow commenting
it's friend
Thanks, Polona.
Good translations, Monika. I prefer the first, because it doesn't claim the sparrow changes anything – just that it makes a difference.
tikkis, you remind me of one I wrote a few years ago
hedge full of sparrows
is all that chatter
about me
If I remember right, I posted it here, and you said "Yes!"
It was not me but Mikaelah! Now I left a short comment there!
Copied it also here:

hedge full of sparrows—
is all that chatter
about me
That is copied from Bill. But today I left my comment:

A haiku that offers room for multiple interpretations.
Being known as an eastern sparrow, this haiku means alot to me. Can I post it on my blog, Bill?
