Three Tiny Tales

a wounded dolphin
trying to swim to safety—
the wound proves fatal

~~ ~~ ~~

on a parade float
the faintest glimmer of light
from a yellow rose

~~ ~~ ~~

impartial jury—
the prisoner’s only hope
for clearing his name

Each battle is profound to the one that is fighting it…not so tiny a tale after all maybe?

Each one stands alone in its beauty but intriguing to try to connect the random meanings…hmmm
