Sometimes a strawhead
presides over paradise,
scaring crows to death.

    Creepy guy! Not like the friendly scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. 😉

    I also think your strawhead is a female.

    Fun Haiku!

    The crows may ‘Caw’ with authority but cower in fright if challenged by a hay filled ‘person’ in the field. Not such a brave bird…looks almost real to me too!

    ooh, I love black earth, to have my hands in it when gardening
    I wonder where the idea of scarecrows originated? do you think they really scare off birds?

    Yes, very funny, but it does its job.

    Well, I wish it were true….but I’ve seen birds LAND on the shoulders of the scarecrow…and I think their calling/songs is actually laughter at the whole concept. In either case, this is one awesome photo.
