A nice contrast between the birds and planes...
Just a note on this one.
I was going to send this out to a number of journal editors last year, when Presence issue 35 dropped onto my doormat. Leafing through to the page with my haiku on (p19 if you have a copy), I found a haiku written by David Weston with "the screaming of swifts" as the middle line. As my pieces immediately followed this, I decided I wouldn't send my swift poem to anyone, for fear of plagiarism accusations.
This haiku comes from working in Matlock, Derbyshire (UK), in a large building on top of a hill.
yes nice juxtaposition David
Straight and swift set special landmarks in this. Nice one.
Best wishes
Ralf
how annoying - its a great line
