This piece leads me to wonder about the birds and what they say to each other as they look down on the humans below. It also reminds me of my daughter who, when younger, saw a bird with one leg and asked, "can that bird still fly with one leg?"

I see them perching like that--so close together--when I'm out walking. They do seem to be communicating! Your haiku is creative and clever--with a great metaphor.

What a cute poem for the Haiku contest, and the picture is perfect. I especially like your final line. I've always wondered how the birds could space themselves so evenly along the wires. Best wishes in the contest. Carol

Lol. The "tight rope gossip club" got to me. I'm guessing they're gossiping about how hot the summer is, and how people are just everywhere, unmasked.

All the very best in the contest.

I like the "tightrope gossip club" for the satori ending. I always found it fun to watch birds socialize like that on the power lines. Enjoyed your haiku and best wishes in the contest!

I love the light-hearted tone of your Haiku which really comes through in your third line. Birds chattering on a telephone wire does indeed sound like a "conversation" of gossips. Rod

What a great art choice, Deb, for your haiku. I enjoyed reading
your entry. Great job with the syllable count per line. Your words
flow smoothly with great imagery and alliteration.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes, Jan

I love your tight-rope gossip club Haiku, Deb and particularly the chair-bird sitting on the post overseeing the gossipers. Great, fun write and love the photo. Good luck in the contest, cheers.
