MIAMI HERALD'S HAIKU CONTEST

After entering The Miami Herald's  Haiku 
contest in 2011, I was left with some drafts:
(syllables= 5, 7, 5)  
 
Sometimes I  wonder
what possesses me to  write
stories good for all

'Bout nature's beauty
innocence of animals
the malice that hurts
 
But first and foremost
of all the love that prevails
despite of it all

(I guess I did it right, right? -
following the Haiku guidelines)
