Rose Petals spred their wings upon the morning dew kiss touching the heavens ~~~~~*~~~~~ Butterfly Pastel wings shed tear quenching my thirst for a love as she flutters by ~~~~~*~~~~~ Squirrel Flushing , prancing, dance furry tail high in the air nuts and corn gathered Mark Bohannan |

I really like the rose haiku.. The others were great...but the rose was my favourite. Haiku is a beautifuly form of poetry, that I am getting to like more each time I see some of the quality that is shown here. See you around, Linda Munday.
