original watercolor piece, by the author
A goldfinch, puff'd round
'pon the feeder, past iced glass
Alights this bleak day.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Wonderful haiku and beautiful painting. Love the gold finches!
The art and haiku are both exquisite, Gabriel. You've got it to a T...haiku counts are tricky!!
This is great! As a non-native English speaker, I always struggle with syllable count, and keep forgetting I can cut some out with apostrophes.
Well-wrought! I love the goldfinches. They tend to hide in the brush, so seeing them out in the open is always a treat.
Oh, what a quintessential haiku!
I second Paul's sentiment haha I need to actually take some time and go through your art! Do you share it anywhere else or mostly just with poetry here?
i swear you have the Midas touch for poetry! excellent watercolour and beautiful haiku!
