Haiku on Orphan/Priceless/Quickly

Orphan

Orphan cake on plate
Well, yes, just to help you out
Love another one

A story of hope
Red haired pickle of a child
That orphan Annie

Orphan cloud in sky
Soon to be joined by many
Then we shall have rain

Priceless

Tiny child's laughter
Hospital clown trips down steps
Small priceless moment

Image of your smile
No real intrinsic value
Priceless memory

Those first drops of rain
After a long summer drought
Priceless on my face

Quickly

Hyperventilate
Breathing more and more quickly
Faint and fall over

Your heart racing mine
Temperature rising quickly
We could both explode

I wrote those quickly
Three haiku in 10 minutes
Time poor, haiku worse
