__Not a hawk, but a hawk came quickly to mind. Sometimes hawks seem to crawl through the air rather than fly, thus... from a photo at Devica's blog of 2/21/10, Moonlight. _m

Intriguing inspiration there, Magyar!
hawks -- i see them as roaming in the air, sometimes floating....never did i think of them as crawling :)
anyway, nice to know...my post resulted in another fine haiku :)

Interesting - the idea that hawks are crawling through the air. Lately, all the hawks I've spied have been perched. Blooming moon - how evocative a phrase!

__Talon, blooming moon, the moon when things begin to bloom, a kigo. But then, a moon can 'bloom' in and of itself, cant it? Some
would say this 'word trick' means this isn't haiku... . Oh well!
__Best wishes to you both, and I thank you, and please excuse me for this rambling answer! _m
Oh! so close an observation :)

The most touching of words
Even if that does not make this a true haiku, it's still beautiful poetry and gorgeous imagery.
Interesting..nice thoughts.. :))
Take care
smooth, i can visualize a nighthawk cruising away the freedom of the darkness - very evocative...M
that's an interesting one, but you're right, for a bird that can fly so fast it can seem to crawl...
