Showering 'Neath the Falls

Purifying drops
Cascade down the maiden's back
'Neath the falls she bathes

Loved your fresh Haiku, enjoyed reading it today, Carolyn! But there is really no need to become a vegetarian, although sometimes a vegetarian meal is just a nice change (especially with an Indian dish). I myself prefer poultry and fish...Enjoy your meals!!!...Love, Gert
