Oubliette Ku

(a dungeon made so that the only way in or out is a trap door at the top)

Dismal Swamp –
a Pitcher Plant buzzes
inside and out

~

in a nest
a falcon shifts –
chicks discover sky

~

a gopher hole
in the meadow grass –
a hawk perches

~

this brain hole
I dig

excellent, specially the second

Nice, sparse - leaves lots of room (open holes) for the reader to fall through.

Absolutely amazing. I love the images you've created. I agree with Harshad, "the brain hole" is a phrase that's going to stick with me.
