Bevy of Doves

by Gypsy Blue Rose



bevy of doves

dilly dally by clear creek —

killing thyme



 
 




A group of doves is called: bevy, cote, flight, dule

doves eat fresh thyme among other things

Contemporary Haiku: one to four lines, 17 syllables or LESS. No rhymes. Alliteration and metaphor are okay. These poems utilize a caesura (pause) The essence of haiku is cutting (KIRU) represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas separated by a (KIREJI) dash or ellipsis (~ .... ) Images are taken from human nature or nature.

Here is an example:

in the woodpile
the broken ax handle
