The perils of carelessness,

The perils of carelessness, which of course is also the fountain from which fun and adventure springs, at least to the young. This little piece invoked that in me: and it was just a skinned knee, surely worth it for the fun had in the darting and the play. Well painted Haiku. My only critique would be a request for a comma or dash after the second line. Although the break is obvious, I think it would help in solidifying the theme. Alobar (Just my two cents, spend them on gum if you wish.)

Prefer Barbara

Smiles:) Barbara Good Haiku enjoyed reading again. One suggestion, did you realize there was 6 syllables in the second line instead of 7. Other than that it is perfect
