Subject: Haiku for the new schoolyear!

Today was the first day of school for the junior highs and high schools. I was inspired by the event (and the intimidation) and wrote this haiku:

נחליאלי כבר \ מהלך לו בשדות \ ספירה לאחור (nakhliéli kvár / mehalékh lo basadót / sfirá le'akhór)

which means:

A wagtail already / Walks in the fields / Countdown

(The wagtail in Israel is a clear symbol of autumn.)

What do you think?
