maple tree and small birds

maple tree and small birds

a blue bird’s honed flight
fall’s quick fire wakes the eye—
red maple leaves

  1. Haiku based on the scroll painting "Maple Tree and Small Birds" by Ito Jakuchu (c. 1765). The National Gallery of Art, Washington, celebrated National Poetry Month by offering images of the Japanese artist's work to inspire haiku. At http://www.nga.gov/feature/jakuchu/haiku/image13.shtm
