Haiku

 
                                                       downhill trail
                                                       along a stream
                                                       ...in it
 
 
                                                          lilacs in bloom
                                                          giving the dustmop
                                                          three extra shakes


                                               field of dandelions
                                               thousands of wishes
                                               going unused

all the best,
Adelaide
