Frank’s challenge word this week is ‘hawk’. I could probably write a small book of poetry using this theme. Here’s the first haiku.
Hawk hangs, light trembles,
wheeling cloud and grey feathers,
keen as the north wind.

Jane Dougherty Writes 
Reblogged this on Frank J. Tassone and commented:
#Haiku Happenings #9: Jane Dougherty draws first blood! Her latest haiku for my current #Haikai Challenge! 🙂
She’ll be starting a haemorrhage soon!
LOL!!! Let it pour!
Those seas are going to be so incarnadine 🙂

Spot on! You know them well!
I live in the middle of a kestrel’s hunting ground and watch him/her every day. The buzzards get chased away by the other birds unless they come in a pack, but they are nowhere as graceful as the kestrel.
i miss you!
Darling not one of your own challenges? Damn..
Not mine, but you can join in. The link is in the post.
i know its not yours, but playing with you more, you listen to my hog-wash…
If I listen it’s not hog wash 🙂 I don’t say I always understand it…
Makes good info for a writing a book? Only i won’t be doing that, sad don’t you think?
Any other question, you would like answered?
What is the meaning of life?
The meaning would different from sentient life forms to another.. i do believe we’re moving in the right direction only we really need to make up for lost time, which all cannot be convinced so
easily.. We should concentrate on those whom now of our existence, for their technology is far more polished than our own..
Some travelled hear at first a whole lifetime, it was a one way trip.. Now but a short hop through space an time…
What human have above all other sentient creature, is our creative minds.. That’s what’s feared an watch by all sentient life, , mostly unknown to us…
One would be a fool, to even entertain the thought of there is no life out their an we are the only ones… What make us that special of a species…
I agree, it does seem very unlikely that there is no other life in the whole of the universe. I’m inclined to believe that there is no meaning to life. It just happens, or not.
Why is meaning so important, you are more right life is living.. What there is not enough proof…

How many sparkling lights within the cold darkness of space does one see?
Some are dead, time has strange rules with the emptiness of space…
You put that thought beautifully. I sometimes wonder how many of the stars we see are actually dead now. That’s life after death for you, I suppose.
Life after death, now there is an interesting topic!
Life an death, to hold power over life an death, would be truly a power..
i had lost my thought, any i remember now it’s about space an travel.. From system to system is approximately 10,000 times the length of the milkyway, the nearest sentient planet with star still alive..
i’m being sidetrack big time, so if these don’t make a lot of sense …
i miss you
You are one of the people I haven’t met I would love to have a conversation with in ‘real life’. Space is just too huge to think about. I admire astronomers who can cope with the idea of such distances.
As always i give to much information… That’s the human factor…
I can’t imagine animals rambling on about things that aren’t completely vital.
Animal did wonderfully great before we arrived, they respect and loved Mrs. Nature..
Here’s a thought, even though we’re so destructive, we also did fine before the lie of the church came along….
The coming of Christianity was like the coming Ghengis Khan, except it didn’t go away.
Funny how you would mention a dear friends name!
i lov
chatting back an forth, you would not believe those that read, are comments..
i don’t know this for fact, but have a feeling..
One other question, whom are you?
Who am I? That is a very difficult question to answer. Who I am depends on who you ask. I let myself be guided by those who know me best 🙂
i ask the question because what we have discused in our comments…
i’m often ask the same question.. The answer i give is 70% human 30% unknown..
Would believe from 60,000 year from the future.. i came here to watch man being born, what i mean a ring of silver ship around a distination in space as the sun you know is birthed…

Lovely haiku Jane. I just love raptors.
Thanks Toni 🙂 I love watching the kestrels. I don’t much like the buzzards—too big. The other birds don’t like them either.
Ooo!! I could see this..nicely done:) You get to see such fun stuff where you live.
Get lots of wild weather so we just stay indoors looking at it 🙂
So pretty!
Thank you!
After consulting the Oracle, I was out all day yesterday. I am just seeing this challenge now. It is definitely a Jane challenge! 🙂
I like how you capture this moment–really lovely, Jane.
Thank you 🙂 I’m going to post a few more of these. You’re right, it’s a theme that works well for me.
🙂
