With a crooked grin
a scarecrow honors blackbirds
and their many wiles.

    I’d like to think that this is at the grave of a child and would make a sook like me cry.

    A strange juxtaposition- a little sad.

    Rather intriguing, this one. Love the senryu…..and trying to make a connection to the grave. I like!

    ‘a crooked grin’ there breaks my heart but that’s a scarecrow’s job. Nice.

    Well, that is the kind of thing I’d like left on my grave! Something to make people smile.

    Nice thought – the scarecrow honoring blackbirds. Enjoyed the haiky. The picture is delightful despite the setting.

    A lover of halloween or a farmer that once made scarecrows for her garden.
