THE SPARROW CHILLING

The day started already rather hot in the morning.
Mischa and I walked down into town. First we went to look in the fairy garden, my favourite, and we saw a damselfly, a tiny one and also one empty nymph. The dragonfly however we did not see.
From there we walked  to the chemist and there at the corner is a beautiful round sculpture, a fountain and at the foot I saw the little sparrow chilling.
The rest of the day we had to keep quiet and sit and nap in the shadow.

My haiku:

Wet feathers you got
And that feels terribly cool
Sparrow in the bath

And the proverb:

Go to Bath!   (= get away!)

1842-43  W.H. Maxwell, Hector O' Halloran.
