High on a telephone pole, your aerie was built
Stick by stick plucked from the ground and flown clumsily
To its new home with a view – where you can spot prey
A mouse or vole or rabbit, and scream from on high
I’ve been watching this nest while it is being built.
The Tanka Tuesday prompt was to write a Imayo about a bird. An imayo has four lines, each line 12 syllables, but divided into two sections: 7 syllables and then 5 syllables. This is my attempt.

Sally, this is fabulous! Well done. Hawks seemed to be popular this week.
How cool is that. I hope the babies don’t try to “walk the line.” Very well-done!
Fascinating process to watch! 💞
They choose odd spots to nest.
Unexpected. Beautiful!
