First flight of 'De Uiver' above Rotterdam Haven 1934

shed your fears away
your luck has changed now
a stork is soaring

they do beget them

Mating Storks - Aobram

Awkward, like a dork
Skinny legs like tines of fork
You're right! It's a stork.

tired stork
visiting my son
for the fifth time
#DailyHaikuPrompt

The bringer of new
Flies with a massive wingspan.
And skinny li'l legs.

deer-still
watch them
with wide eyes

Marteniza
Red and white colours
fly in the spring breeze

#Haiku #Poems #Writing #Folklore #Bulgaria

On 1 March, Bulgarians celebrate the beginning of spring with the tradition of #Marteniza. On this day, friends and family members exchange red and white threads or small dolls known as martenizas. These are worn until the first #Stork or blossoming tree is seen, then they are tied to a #Tree. The red and white colours symbolise health and happiness.

But no returns accepted
Storks don't give receipts

Last of my 'month of Haiku' from the prompts! Thanks to @dailyhaikuprompt

Watch for my random #unsolicitedHaiku offerings.

Stork in the water
Wading and looking for food
Time for some breakfast

#dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poem #senryu #shortpoem #writing

Prompt - Stork

herons, ibises
pipers and curlews galore
never seen a stork

A long-legged stork
Wading alone in the pond
But with no (r)egrets.

will this be
my lucky month?
