Three Haiku Poems

by Lynda McKinney Lambert

__1

brown tiger cat

hides among twilight shadows

frightened and hungry.

__2

brown girls waiting

clay crocks on old stone stairway

soft afternoon rain.

__3

morning dove descends

from sturdy, large wood plank  fence

bird bath, cool water.

 My  3 haiku  poems   are  published  in  The Weekly Avocet, August 11, 2024, Issue #10

My gratitude to Charles Portolano, Editor, for supporting my work in many of his publications.
