Cairn Haiku - Poll 3 of 5

[bradl]

Little Thieves

Clever little Cairns,

They soon find the perfect way

To capture our hearts!

---

Close Call

Toad leaps, the cairn strikes

Bitter spray, mouth fills with foam

head shakes, toad escapes

---

The walk

We go for a walk

I must forge the way ahead.

I must take the lead!

---

Curiosity killed the ?

Oh, there is a bug!

I wonder what he tastes like?

I think i must know........

---

My Heart

He comes and he goes,

a right mischievious sneak,

yep, there went my heart.

---

Love Me, Please

New pup in the house,

slipping quietly, he comes

please Abe, please love me.

---

From the weather channel

It was just a blur

of silver and brindle fur

Hurricane season

---

It's Not Heaven Without You

Outside Heaven's gates,

chewing celestial bone,

patiently I wait

---

The big question:

How to train a cairn

It seems to be the question.

Does anyone know?

---

Braveheart

Prey into the cairns

Small in stature, brave in heart

Cairns goto the prey

---

This is a poll for choosing a finalist in the Cairn Haiku contest. There are five polls - you may vote once in each of the five polls. The top vote-getter in each individual poll will be placed in a final poll to determine the overall favorite Cairn haiku. This poll will close at 8:00 PM server time (Pacific Daylight Savings Time) on Sunday, August 8.

Note to contributors - while I tried to be reasonably generous in pronouncing words in order to get syllable counts into line, poems that could not be coaxed into 5-7-5 format are not included. While 5-7-5 is not the only format acceptable for haikus, it was the format specified for this contest. All submissions were lovely and worthy of re-reading and I thank everyone who contributed to this fun project in any way.
