Winter kigo on Carpe Diem prompt is sandpiper or plover, chidori , I have no sandpiper pictures myself. I therefor have this wonderful old illustration from Wikimedia commons
Sandpipers I see mostly when I hike Swedish mountains in summer. I assume that it’s a snow bird moving south with winter.
safety from surf
sandpipers are feeding
clouds obscure the sun

plover carefully
investigate the sand
avoiding the tide

desolate song
sandpiper calls his mate
lost in migration

Beautiful series on plover, sandpiper. Very well crafted. Thank you for your daily participation.
I loved this word.. 🙂
It’s a lovely image to go with even lovelier haiku. WOW! I love picture you paint with words.
Thank you 🙂
a woeful call
I grew up on the coast and the sandpiper was a favorite to watch as he skillfully, chased the waves
And to me the golden plover accompany you all the times in the Swedish Mountains.
Oh, that desolate song…it is echoing in my heart…
