The Blue Jay

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
blue jay left behind

    calls his mate hopelessly —

the sound of loneliness
 
 
 
 
 
 




Blue jay birds are known for their striking blue plumage and their loud calls. They are good at flying long distances and migrate over 1,000 miles to warmer climates. These intelligent birds have complex social systems. A group of jays is often referred to a band of jays.

HAIKU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment. It resonates on a deeper level, enlightening the reader and making an insightful connection. Most haiku in English consist of three unrhymed lines of seventeen or fewer syllables, though today's poets use a variety of line lengths and arrangements.
Traditional Japanese haiku include a season word (kigo) that helps identify the season, and a break (kireji), usually a dash, that marks a pause. Haiku focus on experience captured in clear images. The most common technique is juxtaposing two images or ideas.
