Haiku 96. This one for papa dove...

[Sue Littleton]

soft whistle of wings
gray dove flings himself airborne
cats hide their envy

Suave silbido de alas;
la paloma gris se arroja al aire
y los gatos esconden su envidia.

They do indeed have a signature whistle, especially at "liftoff." Glad you noticed. jim

If I were any closer to these doves they would be nesting on my pillow. And the twins are so ADORABLE! Yellow and fuzzy with strange stripes, mute little darlings. Nary a squeak! ♥♥♥
