a partridge breaks
the light
--Cristina Apetrei
A beautiful haiku image. It captures a fleeting moment with wildlife in a burst of light with a poetic analogy of sunlight glinting dewdrops as broken light. I read it as a partridge, a ground bird that hides in meadow type habitats, flushed from it's hiding place of tall meadow grass, maybe by the poet just passing by, and flying up it sent a shower of dew from the grass spraying up sparkling in the sun like fragments of lights, and 'breaks the light'. Is it a white spray like a spring morning mist or golden like during the sunrise? It's nicely concise, only giving the reader enough to spark the image and letting their imagination do the rest.
