The willow weeps
counts the losses time gone by
more to fall
*
more to fall
leaves hang in vibrant color
vitality spent
The prompt for Carpe Diem as we continue to celebrate the autumn kigo is Yanagi Chiru (willow)

Thanks Bjorn
I strive to write haiku in a true sense
occasionally I feel the sense of Basho
but as Rome wasn’t built in a day neither was the perfection of the haiku art form
