Haiku's from Mathilda in honor of Mardi Gras missed.

She has inherited my love of haiku's. Here are a few I really like.

Make music appear
as they march closer in a
line. To throw their gifts

Thick outstretched rough arms
reaching too high. Clutching beads
with gnarled fingers

Friends turn over chairs
as they reach up for cold beads.
Colors cheat their eyes
