Haiku my Heart - Memories Linger

beyond the rainbow
a blue parakeet flies high
one left behind cries



It's difficult to lose a pet. One that has been with you several years. It's equally difficult to see the one left behind, the other half of the partnership, as it wonders where its family went, why is there no familiar being to eat seed with, to sing and chirp with, to chase around the flight cage, to snuggle against through a long, lonely night.

Birds cry. Birds hurt and wonder. Their silence says it all.
And to me...the silence is deafening.
r.i.p Mr. BB

Carry Blessings With You All Day

  3. Heartrending. There is nothing which tugs at our heartstrings more succcessfully than memories is there?
    And OF COURSE birds feel, love, and grieve.
    My heart goes out to you both.

  4. Oh, truly I feel for you ALL. They are our companions, our friends. Trust in time the hurt heals and the broken heart mended.

    A heartbreaking haiku today.

  5. I have heard of stories from other bird-loving friends how the other half of a pair goes through a pronounced mourning process at the loss of its companion. I am so sorry for both your and your parakeet's loss. I hope that some day the memories come with enough sweet to take the edge off the bitter sorrow.

  11. I've had this sitting on my desktop for days... and meaning to write ever since I saw your IG post. I am so sorry for this loss dear Judie. I know how much your birds mean to you. I hope the little yellow one left behind will be okay. And that the pain in your heart eases. Fly high Mr.BB. Your song echos in our hearts.
