in the horse pasture

    walking away_
    the scent of country on his shoe
    and... butterflys

    This has a wonderful texture of inter-relationship and economy. Very nice, Charles--outstanding in your field. Take care.

    **a tangle of butterflies in the horse pasture** -- fresh and haunting image, and I like the interesting and completely unexpected juxtaposition in this haiku.

    black wreath
    hanging outside the door--
    this alley cat waits and waits
