What a refreshing unique haiku, Suz. I like the whimsy of it that encapsulates the child's imagination.

Yes I can just imagine that Suzanne, a lovely purple deer with pink antlers. What a sweet Haiku. My daughter and I are trying to write a children's book at the moment for hittle boys. So much harder stretching ones imagination when it comes to boys. All that comes to mind is pink tutus and purple deers Lol....Maria xx
