The crazy Chaffinch.
With all of the sky to choose,
Flew at the window.
Entering boldly,
Blazing bright red bravery.
The humble Robin.

Thanks again Billy for your comments, these two were originally written as Haiku but then after getting more of an understanding of Haiku through my post yesterday I realised that these two are better as Senryu, especially for the fact that they have humour in them.
Also I never meant it to be so, but yes there is a feathered element to the past five poems I've posted, I'll sort it out. Just as I read your 'bird' comment my first thought was "I hope he doesn't read "pugnacious" about the robin trying to evict me. And then within seconds I noticed your comment. Busted. I deserve to be assimilated.

simply fantastic!!
Just one thing: I wold write senry
uu or use a makron over the "u".
If you don't, that wold be like writing High Q instead of haiku.

Both of them are wonderful! I enjoyed the wordplay with b's in the second, and the subtle humour of the first.
