"PIneapple Truck"


I like this because I have a "weekly editor's pick" from Zazzle :)

"Humpback Whale"

reminds me of my childhood; we listened to humpback whales underwater.

"Weeds"

We had neighbors that would let their weeds grow so tall that they would actually bloom -- who knew?

"Cupcake"

this mug looks good enough to eat

It's funny - you got to admit. Check out some of my other haiku art magnets - over 70 of them.
