Carpe diem today is to write an inspired haiku from this one by O. Mabson Southard:
Chanting, the pond’s frogs …
among the lilies’ dark pads –
the twinkle of stars
and to write in 575 is part of the challenge.

Frog by M.C. Esher

Wonderful! love the falling leaf ~ carol, ^_^
The choir of frogs sounds good.
Beautiful haiku. 🙂
this is really beautiful, Bjorn.
Very evocative of autumn! Love the choir!
Gorgeous!
Wonderfully composed haiku inspired on the one by Southard. I like that frog choir …
But, of course, you hear the falling maple leaf only when the frog choir is silent! 😉

Lovely Bjorn, very well composed.
It’ s still lovely to enjoy the music while the leaf is just about to fall… Nicely done!
A lament sung for the end of summer nights, perhaps…
Wonderful. Autumn perfectly captured. Love that falling maple leaf.
