We got Haiku Yes We Do! We Got Haiku How 'Bout You?

We are in Buffalo, NY getting my mom's broken tooth fixed and have a few days to catch up on blogs and schoolwork so here are the haiku and I am hoping you guys will try your hand at them and send me some back!  The dentist my mom went to was a history buff and gave us a list of cool places to go check out including the home where Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in when President McKinley was shot in 1901.  Guess every cloud has a silver lining. She's been in a lot of pain and couldn't talk but is doing better now.

IOWA:  
Corn Corn Corn and Corn/ Combines Small Towns Corn and Corn/Field of Dreams and Corn

Getting lost in Winterset:  
Riding after dark/ Wondering where my mom is/ Ask for a ride home
or      Lost in bobcat woods/ Tower wasn't worth the scare/ But friends we met were

BADLANDS:    
Fossils in red stone/time laying in the bedrock/ our past revealed

Craters of the moon national monument:   
Crevices of rock/desolate but is unique/Apollos trained here
bubble rainbow rocks/are all that the lava left/on eerie moonscape

Covered bridge Festival: 
deep fried small town fair/honor the old wood bridges/madison county

Spook Cave:  
Ducking hundred feet/ stalactites and stalagmites/ dark cavern secrets

Not gonna Do it/ Too Spooky for me she said/I'll hold your hand mom

rock ceiling so low/ bent over in boats the bats/can see you up close

Niagara Falls: 
Lit up like rainbows/water like cotton candy/water carnival

Maid of the mist boat/ drenches us in fall's fury/ the thunder gods roar

Mom Turning 40!
Wake up this morning/ Feels like any other day/but you're 40 now

Canadian Customs:
Detained for an hour/they think we're gun runners/no big bust today

Mom's Tooth
After dinner mint/molar mayhem by tic tac/some birthday present
