Sunday At the Park

dappled shadows
waltzing on winding sidewalks...
polka dot ribbons

          frisky Dalmatian
          leaping for flying Frisbee...
          dust motes in sunlight

                    freckled faced twins
                    eating rainbow Popsicles...
                    sticky park bench

                              slanted jewel tones...                            
                              sprinkled sky littered with                            
                              butterfly kisses

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/30/2011 8:40:00 PM I love how the first and second ones blended so fantastically together. Those two were my favorites. And butterfly kisses was so cute. Also, the end line of haiku three goes so well with the Popsicle line. Adorable series, CArrie. HOw the heck will Charles choose just three, for heaven sakes? Have you seen Sara's too?(I don't know if I saw the others yet, but I bet they are all good). I think he might have to put ten spots! Luv, Andrea Login to Reply
