A-w-w-w-w, look. It's a tiny, baby Lenore!
Who's Lenore, you ask?
Well, it's often been bantered about that the ghastly grim and ancient Raven in Edgar Allan Poe's classic Gothic gem, 'The Raven', was the spirit of the lost Lenore herself. The poor doomed protagonist in the poem
simply didn't realize she'd come to take him back with her.
According to every book on animal and fowl classifications, a male crow is called a cock, a female; a hen, and the babies are indeed called "chicks."
Excellent work here, Gypsy darlin'.

Hi Gypsy, this adoring little fellow looks very clean (off subject). Spring time is when life becomes anew. Your line 1 has 5 sylls. The winter time has past as the new season engages with new addition to the bird family. This new addition is waiting for mother crow to return. Patience and hunger are all what it has now. Could this line be shortened to say chick awaits . Now this part in painful to know as in when there is a brood, I wonder mother only pays attention to the loudest chirper and ignores the quiet one alone. Your line 2 has the syll counts. And the satori has the syllabic count and does go with line 1. Nice write. Best, cumulus

Hearing the sounds of the birds lets me know that spring is near. I would love to hear them right about now. The picture is too cute. A perfect picture for a perfect poem.

This is a well-written haiku challenge poem, I do not think you should change anything. But for future reference, Gypsy a mother chicken takes her chicks when they dry from hatching out into the dirt and teaches them to scratch in the earth and find their own food. They might catch a grasshopper and hold it for the chick to tear apart and eat, but chicks are pretty independent about getting their food. The hen is always with them thou.
But I like your poem and think you should leave it as it is.

OMGosh! I could stare at that baby chick for hours, he is so adorable.
Reminds me of the baby chicks my grandfather used to get when I was a kid and I helped him look after them. 500 chicks every spring we raised to full grown roosters for food. I would play with them for hours.
The first two lines are lovely as this baby chick is waiting so patiently. Your satori "nature's spring special" is wonderfully creative. This baby chick is probably going to get the best worms his mamma can find!
Nicely done.

Hello, sweetie pie, thank you for writing a review for my haiku. Why did you give me a 4-star ranking? Can I improve it? Maybe you hit the 4 when you meant to hit the 5, that happened to me before. :)

Yeah, I figured that is what happened because your review was stellar. No worries, I've done it too. I know what you mean, too long staring at the screen it is not good.

There are so many things to love about this charming haiku. The picture it conjers is such a sweet one. Also the satori is clever and cute. This is so perfect for a smile inducing post card or mini poster. Thank you for sharing your work.

Ha, this made me smile, Gypsy--nature's spring special!
Your haiku is well structured and your words well-chosen to paint a picture and a mood. I love the action of the hungry, waiting chick and the mam hen bringing his meal. The satori line has a fun double meaning because I think of a restaurant's spring special as well as of the chick's meal in spring.
Your haiku is spot on and display a high level of craft. Even the use of possessive words like his and nature's help tighten and animate your short poem.
Thank you for sharing.
