Raise with empty claws

This was written for Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge. This week was poet’s choice. I chose a haiku.
Oh, just a FYI, the next time the osprey hit the water, it came up with a clawful (see photo below)

Great haiku, cool photos.

The haiku would be perfect for the October poetry challenge at Fake Flamenco.
