What a sad interpretation of Chiyo-Ni’s haiku, but it’s a beauty.
oh god:( what a sad picture.. very well executed
Precisely! This is so vivid, I can practically hear the shot!
Thud!
Butterfly Seeking Nectar
Is that the peasant butterfly? I’ve never heard of that species 😉
Good contrast!
I can almost hear the Pheasant (or perhaps the farmer) saying pluck it.
Thanks you for the fun!
Poignant. That last line really hurted. Very well scripted and speaks of reality.
So vivid and well – crafted that I believed…
Well done. It seems kind of sad, but having grown up in a family of hunters, the gunshot sounds like food on the table to me… 🙂
loved the contrast. the last line is surprising and changes the atmosphere. beautiful.
So sad but still beautiful, but pheasant is tasty I’ve heard.
Sad yet strikingly beautiful haiku. Nicely written here.
