A stiff wing rises
through the grass. Mangled Robin.
Damn cat. What a shame.

Of course, D. Gale, you would side with the cat! : )

This is a fun haiku. And I know it is odd for me to say that since this haiku is about a dead bird. But I like the image of the wing. And I really like the way you broke up the haiku into 4 sentences. I don’t know that I have ever seen that before in haiku and it aids the drama! Yes, that damn cat. Evan a cat lover like myself will say that when a cat kills a feathered animal.
