Early Haiku (4)

Donald Loudon

Raincoats and rubbers
                                      Visages of the old days
                                       Made me smile at me

                                      How you feel each day
                                 Controls your thought and body
                                            Be aware of this

                                         Going round and round
                                       Helps a dog to find it's spot
                                              Is not productive

                                                Beautiful blue skies
                                       Reflect around the whole earth
                                         Please give them their due

                                              Nature is our friend
                                       Be kind to her treat her right
                                             She'll be good to you
