Happy Haiga Day!

Earlier this week, heading up the NH coast to Maine, I saw a bald eagle. It was quite a surprise, but I was also taken aback by the landscape in which this American symbol appeared. Sadly, it is appropriate to this week.

today I saw a bald eagle
perched on a dead tree
in the midst of a swamp

my high school English
teacher would have loved
