Poetry: Haiku

Now for something completely different! My haiku:

Haiku #1
Do not worry that
You do not know which symbol,
Just wear all of them.

Haiku #2
The big grey kitty
Sleeps lazily in the sun
Of the warm bright day.

Haiku #3 (a work in progress?)
Horses have run here,
I can tell from the ground worn
Down by many hooves.
