About This Poem

A Gift From A Child

A small child runs on the beach
clutching a treasured gift in his hand
a sand covered dog poo

    Mandy, A Haiku in its correct form is about the seasons Spring, Summer etc: all others are put under the heading of Senyru, they consist of a 5-7-5 syllable count, yours will be a great story when edited a little, as it gives a fun picture, Yours Ian.T
