depart from fallen leaves -
earth's will unfolds
Oooh, I love it!!
Somehow I think of morning mists as lovers (illicit or licit) slipping away from the fallen leaves.
You bring to mind A Description of the Morning - Poem by Jonathan Swift
Something about those morning mists, departing, and earth's will unfolding, seems very suggestive.
That's the word I was after! #suggestive
Again: LOVE IT
oops, I can't retweet your haiku unless you posted it in Hive in your own post!
I was careful not to use the word moist.
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment! And the poem. How do you know so many poems?
LOL - someone else did use moist (moistness) - so, despite your best efforts, I was not spared. :)
I was an English major many years ago. Hence, the poems. And I pretty much flunked the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) in English. I scored barely above 70% because I had read so little English lit and poetry! American lit was my favorite, and I avoided Shakespeare like the bubonic plague. (Call me an idiot. I know. I know.)
Shakespeare is an acquired taste, but once you acquire it, watch out!
I tutored for the GRE. I had to take it in order to qualify as a tutor (in the office, not for real) and I scored 800 on the math! lol. My heyday...
You scored 800 out of 800? Congratulations!
I barely passed in my own major.
At age 16 I read Shakespeare comedies one summer, for lack of anything better in the house, and I did like Midsummer Night's Dream: "Men have died, and worms have eaten them, but not for love!"
Now I have to wonder how Shakespeare ended up at our house. Must have been a library book. All we had was the Bible, Volume A of the encyclopedia, a Red Cross First Aid manual, and some random Little Golden books.
