frost in the air
the line of swallows ends
with a sparrow

Humour with some pathos - the swallows are gathered and about to leave the sparrow behind. It is the end of the line and of summer, which the swallows will answer with migration. The sparrow just feels the cold [and will endure worse] without the instinctive urge to change location. Andrea Gradidge

I like the picture and the unusual situation of a sparrow joining a group of swallows. I wonder how long the sparrow will stay with a group of migratory swallows. This haiku is one that I can reread and find enjoyable each time.
