envy (haiku)

by Glenn Currier

 

jay squawked with envy

as dove pecked filling its mouth

with karma of grain

this is amazing. Great haiku fodder and the result very fine.

'Karma of grain' nice coinage and so meaningful reflecting the meaninglessness of the envy, philosophically.

Funny how the dove, peaceful, can find sustenance in something intangible, but the jay, noisy, only envies. Great one, Glenn.

The Karma is always greener... the images flutters in front of my face on this one. The Doves get all the breaks. ;)
