quote haiku

This week Chevrefeuille challenged us to write a haiku based on this quote from Confucius

“it does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop”

caterpillar crawls
slowly from leaf tip to stem
munching on milkweed

leaf – a Haiku

golden autumn leaf
tires of holding hands with branch
falls slowly to earth

Sun and shadows play a game

Run and tag, one hides one seeks

Fun all day across the sky

Done when light begins to streak

And then the stars push them aside

Grand ballroom fills the inky sky

Band plays tunes preferred by moon

disband when curtain lifts by light

summer’s closing act
mists over the foreign lands
darkness comes quickly
