Three Legged Table

         I chose three legged table
         and it stands perfect stable
         to hold my favourite vase
         containing a rare cactus.

         Table top is circular
         Polished smooth of brown colour.
         Green cactus , rough and thorny
         yielding yellow blooms , tiny.

         Me bought table not to tilt.
         Vase - Cactus recieved as gift
         from my daughter and grand kid.
         Table-vase-cactus entwined.

         Me the three legged table
         standing strong and capable
         to love, care and look after
         my daughter and Granddaughter.

         The three legs to symbolise 
         three generations ! Precise.
         So, family tradition
         to hold and to carry on.

I asked, whether in Haiku, Capital letters are permissible in the title. Love.
