Looking through Martha Magenta’s haiku for Frank Tassone’s weekly challenge, I was particularly struck by this one:
dawn tide
rolling up the beach
a wave of sanderlings
The Heron’s Nest, Volume XXI, Number 3: September 2019
My haiku on the same theme:
thrush in a tree
still winter bare
a tissue of song
Reblogged this on Frank J. Tassone and commented:
#Haiku Happenings #2: Jane Dougherty’s latest haiku for my current #haikai challenge!
Thank you, Frank 🙂

Nicely done Jane. I didn’t know of her before now but I like her work.

Thank you 🙂 I didn’t know of her either, but I like those simple images.
Agreed!
Short, but very amazing.
Thank you!
I appreciate “a tissue of song,” which is all winter can afford. The season is encapsulated here.
Thank you. Winter’s dress is flimsy. Thank goodness the birds have the generosity to dress the trees.
Lovely Jane. I love the starkness of the Haiku.
Thank you. The trees are just coming into leaf, but there is still a feeling of bare winter about them.
