Stringy old rooster,
you’ve shattered my sleep again—
the stewpot for you!

    Great haiku, made me laugh out loudly.
    The rooster of my childhood also ended in a stew-pot, because he’d pick on my lil’ brother while he was fetching eggs. That actually happened at my grandmother’s farm two summers in a row.
    Like the painting, placed asymmetric in the frame.
    Thanks for the red and yelllow poem.

    If a rooster crows,
    And a crow roosts, which one makes
    A stringier stew?

    Cheers!

    This reminds me of my boyfriend not used to having them around. He woke up because of the rooster and I made an excuse that, that’s what they do during the morning…but after like a few hours the rooster was getting louder and he was like… “You said they do that when the sun is just about to rise. it’s already 9am–make it stop!” hehehe I wish!

    I love the old rooster.. I have to many of them here on my place.. and I would eat them but neither of us wants to kill them.. we are so used to the crowing that many times we don’t even hear them… Love the Haiku! thanks for stopping by my world.. I hope you have a great day!

    I used to have a neighbor who owned a rooster in the middle of town. I was glad when they moved.

    A hen is better for cooking than a rooster. Just let him be and strut his stuff.

    I can relate to this one, never get two roosters at the same time, they usually compete with each other.
