the new lambs press against 
their mothers' bellies

    I like the theme of security conveyed in this haiku. When nature is threatening, human nature is a refuge.Enjoyed.

    Dear sue: My favorite Haiku this year. I read it to my 10-year-old daughter who shared in my appreciation.

    Best,
    Jim
