This is one of Alan Summers. another hot day a leaking water pipe stopped by the jackdaw’s beak I asked him about it and this was his reply: "This one is really easy to explain... The overflow pipe of the apartment up one and to my left had a forever gently leaking pipe, probably from the cistern. It was literally a really hot day, which England can be notorious for, and tougher than some hot weather countries. It was another hot day.  The leaking water pipe was utilised by a jackdaw, and hence the water was temporarily stopped from leaking onto the ground below. Perhaps this is a shasei haiku because it tells the facts as directly witnessed, and not told in another narrative format, and with no poetic writerly additions. You could say the jackdaw wrote it for me.  |

Basho was a Haiku master, and he is famous for ones that go something like this (I may not have the words exactly right):
An old pond,
frog jumps in,
Plop.

A haiku master is just another name for an ATA master FWIW, I was recently informed that "haiku is not a Proper Noun so it's not capitalised unless starting a sentence" Sorry, its a dog eat dog world  |

An empty bird’s nest:
“there is no you” invites fight,
Predators, or flight.
There is only you
Sprouting springtime, we alight
singing Who am I?
