flower wannabe
the older I get
the slower I walk
the more I notice

flower wannabe
Oh, that blue! It is a 'flower wannabe'! And your 2nd one, truth! Happy weekend, Ramona!
ReplyDeleteI've noticed lots of mushrooms this fall, so many "flower wannabes." They can look like flowers but then the colors disappoint, but as mushrooms they are still beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that one really is a wannabe! And the second haiku? Truth!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful haikus. Thanks for sharing these and the mushroom inspiration - "flower wannabe" is the perfect description!
ReplyDeleteSo many mushrooms out this time of year! I'll have to start looking more closely because that one is beautiful, as are your haikus.

ReplyDeleteRamona, thanks for the lovely floral-looking mushrooms and the 2nd haiku on aging, made me laugh. I had the 3 grands since yesterday and just delivered them back to their parents after a delicious dinner out and ice cream to follow-up. Enjoy your grandchildren this weekend. Now I will have quiet to finish my blog and link it tonight.
DeleteThree cheers for slower walks and more noticing!
ReplyDeleteOh I love those flower wannabes.
ReplyDeleteMe, too (your last poem)! Here's to walking slow!
ReplyDeleteI love to walk slow and notice nature. Our woods are rife with fungi right now - I mean hundreds of them in different species, I stop to take pictures most days. Keep walking, keep noticing!
