Nice twist at the end! That poor duck didn’t have a chance, he was so busy looking for his shadow!
I like ducks. This is sad.
very diverse set of haiku ~ like the essence of the 2nd one … wonderful photograph ~ Enjoy ^_^
Mallard ducks are so pretty. I love the imagery, ecxept for the poor crispy one!
Wonderful series of haiku Bjorn, that twist at the end I hadn’t expected. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

Adore the first two 🙂 Poor duckie.
Ducks and moon – a perfect combo 🙂
Yumi, love duck. Nature is only beautiful when it is on your side.
I like the image of the mallards hunting their own shadows, but not so much the mallards being hunted!
Hazy Moon
I love ducks, espec. crispy ones hanging in Chinese grocery stores..I could never kill one, though (such a hypocrite!)
love this sequence – the transitions are great, and the sense of wholeness is (curiously) in keeping with the themes. There is a deep respect in it as a piece which shines through. Poems, yes, but more than that, there is poetry.
Thank you.. there is a great group of people doing daily haiku here, and this month we are doing classical kigo of spring.
do you have something against ducks? yes, i know they’re tasty, but… anything eles? 😉
No I like ducks actually
Lovely imagery and beautiful set. The second one is a gem. And the last one…ouch. That gunshot went straight through my heart.
Oh gosh, giggling.
🙂
wonderful haiku, cool ending!
Awesome…love the set.☺
Peace
