The haiku will be linked by the subject City Life. It is not necessary for each haiku to relate to the one before it.
- Please contribute up to three of your best haiku.
- Haiku should be posted in the comment box at the end of the post.
- Haiku posted must be original work by the poet making the post. Please include your name below each haiku as you wish it to appear.

Finding birds in flight
While I drive home in daylight
Where are we heading?
I drive glancing left
Cool cat romps across the street
Green traffic lights. What?
Buntings blown by wind
Fly brightly against gray skies
Like a flock of birds
