This is very subtle. I'm with Sandy - is the regret the hunter's because the shot missed ? Or does the quail quail because it realizes it has failed in its only purpose in life as an easy target ?
sometimes i don't understand these haikus....and this would be one of those times.......i thought the quail was shedding it's body for true flight....like the ascension of the soul......haha!
Being on the side of the quail, I understand the regret.

ReplyDeleteInteresting one, Aulice! I like the idea of the rain falling down and the quail rising up.
