Grief rattled branches
High-pitched whistling haunts, driven
off rational thought

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”

"Grief rattled branches." Now that is quite an image!
This haiku captures grief so powerfully through nature imagery.
Oh yes, that high pitched whistling is enough to trigger all the irrational thoughts in me. Loved your Haiku!
Oh! great haiku, KB
The image drew me in and your words perfected it
