Jane gives us the following example for this modern kigo for winter:

Our hosts haiku:

hammering noise
resonates through the forest
deepens the silence

© Chèvrefeuille


I really enjoyed this prompt on Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, where our host explains how the woodpecker is the totem of a haiku writer ...  please drop by and read the post .. it's a joy!

    I wonder, if in years past, telegraphers were able to make sense of the woodpecker's dots and dashes?

    Really love this, Georgia :)
    It *is* so much like a telegraph message: "ditditDATditdiddit -- suet feeder empty; send refill -- ditditDATdiddit!"

    :D
