Haiku--By Peggy Dugan French--United States

curious cow
stares me down
love at first sight
_______________

top of the silo
quiet miles
stretch before me
_______________

old john deere
city kids
ride again and again
_______________

mother’s day
cold toast
served with love
_______________

after the bell
swings
silently swing
_______________

    Peggy, I loved your well written Haiku! I particularly liked the first one. It reminded me of our Jersey cow and her beautiful big eyes with long eyelashes, that made me just love her more each time I went out with Daddy to watch him milk her. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us here on Whispers.
    Love, Charlene

    Hello Peggy, lady of many hats worn.. Worn out.... Or inside..' now as for the write, I found it to be a swinging little piece with bells on, I think the cow is amiable enough
    and the silos fit the overall framework well..' oh and I enjoyed the read..'
