Haiku and photo complement one another most effectively, Christine. I love this. I have a poem posted here at AD entitled "Childish Thoughts." Coincidentally, it is exactly on the same theme and also in haiku form. The petals in my case are cherry blossoms falling like snowflakes upon my kids. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Regis

Clever 5 7 5 Ku.
And you never, never never got up to your muddle in this wee puddle.
But no fear, see who at the sea to see who can see the other drenched with sea, see, at the sea shore and see for more sea to sea to sea see.

I do find it weird that in the UK we are landlocked at 70 miles from the sea, max. Yet to many Americans that distance is close to the sea. I'm miles away, nearly 20 miles from the motion of the ocean. Thus i go only a few times a year.

Keep splashing.

Superb. . . .
Short and Sweet.

Christine,
You are just so good at capturing a mood and the essence of a moment, and here you do it splendidly.

Nice Ku. Well done.

Barefoot feelings!...heavens!

You had better believe it was heaven. I can still remember (yes, I can) the thrill of just jumping from puddle to puddle after a good hard rain. small pleasure for a small boy made for some huge memories. Gotta love it.

Your poem epitomizes the saying "Little Girls are Heaven Sent!"
I love everything about this poem..You say so much in so little. A job well done again!!!!

Peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"

Just like a piece of Heaven, Christine.....and what an adorable photo.

Heavenly!

You have a wonderful way of expressing yourself with just a few well placed and sweetly written words. Nice job.

Beautiful KU to go along with two sweet darlings.

George

Knowing your love of children (of all ages)this Ku is so very special. It captures the innocent sweet joy of being a child...almost angelic. Wonderful ku indeed Christine but I never have any doubt when your name comes up as posted that it will be worth reading.
