Cranes

As I get ready to pack up and send the latest custom bag, I wonder why so few people select one of the crane motif prints to decorate their bags. I admit they are my weakness, and especially in the autumn when the skeins of migrating birds cross the sky and even at night one sometimes hears the calls of shorebirds high above (ok, not here, but when we lived in San Francisco...).

That's what prompted this haiku:

A drawer of cranes
Folded flat wave at their kinfolk
Oklahoma-bound
