5 haiku
human spirits fight
for their life's very last breath
then escape from it
dandelions grow
in spite of weed control
to make the girls smile
heavy tomatoes
cling to twinging vines bowing
the red queens curtsey
a gray cat peeking
from behind the dog's new house
knows to be silent
thunder beats in hoofs
racing roan and sorrel flee
hidden cougar leaps
