fluttering spring bird
bumped my winter window
too late to fly south
Christmas tree needles
mysteriously appear
the tree long removed.
From birth our springs wound
the clockwork of life winds down -
the rewind key lost.
Inspired by the word prompt “DEATH” at

So sad, the first. I always cry when they crash into my window!
Lovely set! I liked the third one the most!
Fragrant memories
Thank you – the third one is I think the better of the three
Your haiku for this prompt is fantastic
Excellent haiku – especially the last.
well-done….espec. the last….
I loved the first and the last made me laugh. I really do not want to find a rewind key!! Imagine having to go through all that again!!
The first brought back long forgotten memories of my first parakeet – ouch.
Sorry about that – I hope there were also some happy parakeet memories in there somewhere!
Oh! I am soory for the poor thing that crashed into your window and the last one, yes, no body hold the rewind key. True!
Very nicely written!
Well done, Merlin.
no rewind button for me too… i will enjoy my childhood again through my little ones and through books anytime..
and yes, the first one does happen – and when it does, is so sad
Loved all three!
Beautiful, vivid post… Great haiku.
I’ve been writing my haiku on my blogspot blog.
