A Weekend Walk in Haiku…

All in fun, and inspired by Ruth of synch-ro-ni-zing, I went for a walk with haiku in mind….IMG_3832-2

So many acorns

squirrels will feast this winter

Oaks will grow in spring.

Young couples picnic

Old hunters start the season

I walk a worn path.

Midas touched maples

Reach out in autumn’s embrace

Gone with the next storm.

Ferns flicker yellow

The forest floor is aflame

No water will quench.

Yay!

I love your haiku, Oliag, but even more I love that you found haiku to be meditative for your walk. The results are wonderful. I especially love the one "Young couples picnic / Old hunters start the season / I walk a worn path. There is so much there.

And I too posted about acorns. :)

Thank you for the mention.
