The two little writing communities I joined are merging. But I did get another second place (out of five entries, so not that big a deal).

The challenge was "dreaming". I entered the dreaming kitten (no place) and this: three linked haiku, based around the Chuang Tzu idea "Was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams about being a man?" And then it accidentally turned into some thoughts on the nature of freedom.

Which?

Trapped: huge, slow, sluggish
No scent: where are the flowers?
A flightless nightmare

Fly free, but no choice
Simple desires rule me
Sun; nectar; mating.

Butterfly or man?
Which reality will wake
From summer dreaming?
