Ladybird Haiku

walking slowly
through the chestnut shade
on a sultry afternoon
a pigeon coos
as I pass

Nice image (hopefully the pigeon keeps its distance and doesn't do more the coo). :-)

Beautiful haiku.
I especially like "chesnut shade"
and hearing that pigeon coo.

Well done and slowly walking it would be in the shade of a hot day, and nice to be noticed too even by pigeons.

but pleased you liked it :)
