Coolness of morning light streaming through clouds silvery, with brilliant thrill of bird whistles. Clean up crews having done their routine work will withdraw, letting the roar of large wheels and the honk in queued horns take over the sounds of morning awakening

a flash of pale blue
from shrubbery to skyward -
the blue bird's silence

    Birds and awakenings seem to go together rather nicely, don't you think? I mean, who would want to wake up without the comfort of birdsong?

    PS: (A friendly proof-read) Typo? Should be 'crews", not 'crewd'?

    Lovely to see that flash of blue. Here, it is the stellar jays who come to my balcony.

      Happy you dropped by Sherry. My poem refers to The Blue Jay Tanager, here we also call them Blue Jean

    It is always good to imagine the scene in your poetry referencing T & T.

    In a brief moment, the bluebird flies. Fitting as similar to the image you added. Bluebirds are one of our favorites, thank you for your image.

    When awakening of the other meaning occurs it might be too late for the cleanup crews. Will it be a sudden or a gradual happening?
    Nice finishing Haiku, Gillena.
