This is a beautifully presented poem and I like the play on words with 'killing thyme'. Your minimal decoration is true to form.Well done your haiku are always a pleasure to read, Gypsy. Giddy

Comment from Gloria ....
Oh this is so cute, those doves love their herbs. Excellent play on words and a brilliant publishing of these two cheeky birds.
A most enjoyable read today. :)

Another fine haiku, Gypsy, and a word substitution after my own heart; thyme instead of time; I probably shouldn't, but the way my mind work (some would say doesn't work), substitute words are the first thing I think of

Gypsy,
Ingenious last line for this contemporary Haiku post. I had no idea of the dining choices for doves (-; Nice illustrations paired with your poem.

Comment from lyenochka
That's funny - "killing thyme." I don't think anything can quite "kill" herbs like oregano and thyme. Those are really strong plants that crop up every year in the gravel. Enjoyed your fun haiku!

Comment from dovemarie
Dear Gypsy, thank you for the information that a group of doves can be called a "bevy," among other things. Your picture is sweet - I can almost hear the doves cooing. Dove "killing thyme" (which I believe is pronounced the way "time" is, was a good play on words

Comment from royowen
I really did have a laugh at this Gypsy, the use of "thyme" was hilarious as a metaphor and makes a real "impact" on the poem. Well done, beautifully done, blessings Roy
