Haiku--By Elizabeth Howard--United States

pondering their fate
fifth grade boys caught
in a pea fight
_______________

trailblazer
the football quarterback
blind in one eye
_______________

old armoire . . .
maternity ward
for three blind mice
_______________

first driving lesson
the neighbor’s mailbox
too close to the street
_______________
