Nice one! Thanks for participating in my warning poetry prompt. Hope to see you back from my next one. (I post a new one almost every Friday.)

By the way, I changed your Mr. Linky link so that it points to your specific haiku instead of your home page.

Excellent haiku, I like the photo too.

I've never heard a cuckoo cry, although there was this recent argument with my ex-wife...

Great Haiku...sounds like a portent of some calamity.
