Haiku my Heart - Flying High




parakeet chirps loud
calling for his little friend
she left the planet

 Grief and sadness: Grief is a complex emotion and just as all humans react differently when grieving, birds can also react differently. ... Birds have been documented as obviously looking for a lost mate or chick, however, and listless behaviors and drooped postures are common indicators of grieving birds.   source: thespruce.com

    I do so enjoy your haiku. Having had parakeets I know how sad it was for Jackie when his cage mate passed. Thank you!

    Dear Judie, I am so sorry to learn of Miss Blue flying off to other skies... how sad for all of you here, without her. I am so grateful for how you share your winged beauties with us all. They each have a place in my heart, as do you.

    oh my friend...i feel for you and your sweet lonely parakeet. just to cheer you both up i am going to walk quietly to a bramble of honeysuckle where fledgling blue jays cozy up in their hidden nest and remind us that life moves forward with newness and promise! much love to you dear one. xo

    Poor parakeet. I know at times like this I wish that we could communicate more clearly with our beloved animal companions. I wonder if it would help her to know that you are grieving too.

    The haiku is so sad... and your painting takes the heart and squeezes tears out of it. Poor birdie. I'm so sorry.

    Both your Haiku and painting reflect the sad time, and I agree with Carol … no matter the species, loss is still painful.

    All the best Jan

    Sometimes it takes a long, long time to recover from the loss of a friend.
