Carpe Diem #457, Sparrows

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

A new day has come and we are still on our way through the Saijiki of Modern Spring kigo by Jane Reichhold. Today we have a lovely prompt namely sparrows and Jane gives us the following example:

As I read this haiku by Jane for the very first time I couldn't help to laugh, because of the word 'twitter' in it. Twitter, as you all know, is one of the most loved social media ... a lot of you have a twitter-account as we have ourselves with our haiku kai. I don't use that twitter account very often, but I enjoy using it sometimes to catch the attention of several of our haiku-family-members.

Credits: Sparrows

Sparrows are very common in the most countries and they all look alike, all the humble and simple colors, no exotic colors or something, but just colors very much in touch with the colors of the earth, soil.
