Black and White Haiga/Haisha
October 6, 2021
Last spring, when the pandemic was raging around the globe for the first time, a Facebook page called Haiku in the Time of Covid was formed by Danish poet Johannes S.H. Berg. Eventually, an anthology of haiku poetry from that page was published thanks to the hard work of another poet, Margaret Dornaus. This poem appeared in the anthology and I created this digital painting to post here.

I saw a Scarlet Tanager today. A rare sight in these parts. It must be the mulberries, ripening with giddy abandon. The bird perches on a branch outside my window for a few minutes, inviting admiration. An orange blur swoops in to claim the mulberry tree as his own. My oriole. I watch as he intimidates a squirrel and chases a pair of blue jays. Fair weather clouds wander by on a breeze. Oh, and the music of a song sparrow in my ears.
