seconds of spinning
let leaves belong to the wind
before the soil

A wonderful haiku Blake … it’s a joy to visit your weblog and I like the way how you write your haiku … thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Chèvrefeuille. Your post was very tender and warm-hearted, so I’m pleased you liked this haiku.
And congratulations on the wonderful ebook you put together about the moon 🙂 I only wish I’d been writing in lower case back then, but I didn’t make that switch until my first attempt at a tan renga.
A wonderful image — perfectly constructed — bravo! Just beautiful. 🙂
Thanks, Jen. I had the image a while ago but then the constructing turned into a “tailless tadpole” scenario for a while 😉
So, I’m glad you liked the end result.
LOL! 😉
Very much. 🙂
