Empty rooms

Random quote of the day:

“Most men resemble great deserted palaces: the owner occupies only a few rooms and has closed off wings where he never ventures.”

Day one, week two – tanka*

Shadow of wings fly
the sun path from the window.
Outside, crows caw, gulls
pipe, finches chitter while all
gather at my bird feeder.

*For a definition of what constitutes haiku, tanka, and cinquains, and for an explanation of this poetry project, go here.
*To see all the poems in one place go here.
