Haiku/Limerick Number Twenty

Haiku master, with me had a word
Said my Haiku's are simply absurd
Just one more for today, then put them away
You'r the mistress, I'm the Master, preferred



          Haiku

Mountain air biting
Spring lambs trailing on the edge
Mint sauce with dinner

I love the way your poem speaks of "lambs trailing on the edge" and then they become dinner. The haiku master controls your pen! Love, Carolyn
