Haiku--By Peggy Dugan French--United States

trail by the river
the stories 
you must know
_______________

sunlight dancing
on river rocks
forest masterpiece
_______________

nimble current
rushing to the sea
forest symphony
_______________

night sky glittering
through the pines
river song suite
_______________

deep in the night
rolling river
in my dreams
_______________
