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
_______________

  4. 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
