My attempt at Haiku

peace before a battle
taut for the trample
in the breeze petals shudder

I like this one, Yvette. Battle is a good key word. Food for thought. daver

try one more time decide if the subject is the battle or the flower? It's easiest to put the subject in line 1, the action in line 2 and the surprise fragment, the juxtaposed image or sensory input in line 3. Light & love
