Regular IS&T contributor Patsy Goodsir was on Black Isle recently (in Scotland) visiting her cousin – he has an interesting assortment of hens and ducks which inspired these haiku…
BLACK ISLE BIRDS
Such a soothing sound,
the gentle “tuck tuck” of hens
layers of brown eggs.
THE SILENT STARE
The Muscovy stares,
wonders who on earth I am,
doesn't make a sound.
(We have since learned that a fox took the Muscovy duck – CC)
