tangled leashes
a texting dog walker
.....three dogs squatting
loves aces
fourplay in crowded silence
.......mixed doubles match
If Ducks had teeth
.......would they clack?

Snow Queen's galloping
three headed icy-cold sleigh,
a troika blizzard

Note : For the contest (The Troika - Haiku With Hooves) by John Lawless.
*Placed Fifth*
Crisp brutal cold night
three horses hauls a gilt troika,
through the snowy roads
a long parting kiss
imprinted upon my lips
her lingering heat
re post inspired.by John's contest
Beast Troika
B east trio ,in front the leader is king kong
E erie,misty,demonic figures eyeing with reddish hues
A rmy of black ,gigantic hairy statures
S tand all armoured in battle to confront
T eeth snarling for enemies to destroy.

Night.
A snow field.
The moon pours silver light.
It is good to sweep on a sledge now!
Horses rush
Into whirlwinds of snowflakes,
Somewhere a wolf howls,
Somewhere, the owl cries.
Stars are reflected in the snow.
They and trees in white fur coats
Listen to the crunch of snow
Under the sledge,
Crying of guitar
And song about unhappy love.
Three beautiful horses
with sleighbells ringing
carry someone
On the roads of night.
