She is 18 months now and I expect her wings to start sprouting any day.
I invented the word Triku for this work, three related haikus. They need each other to tell the story.


Maddie Defines Joy (A Triku)

Blonde-red on the head
Blue eyes, butterfly lashes
rosy cheeks dimpled

Tipped up pixie nose
Curls encircling Cherub
Peachy lips say sweet

Marshmellow body
Toddles on gleefull tiptoes
Maddie defines joy

Hmmm... makes me wonder if I'll ever have another. Thank You for inventing Triku, and for reminding me how much joy new souls can bring.
