A Triad of Haiku III

Small, Unctuous frog, Squatting on his lily pad, Only yawns to eat. -------------------------------------- Gaudy cherry trees, Fearful of a rising wind, Grip their blossoms tight. -------------------------------------- The stream's headwaters Have not yet seen the valley; Nor we yet Heaven. --------------------------------------

well crafted Haikus, John. I appreciate the depth of the last one...it kind of took my breath away for a second. Have a great evening, Sara
