I could almost smell that rose - gorgeous! It is sad when we have to say goodbye to all the beautiful colors and lovely fair weather - but, I do love the fall colors, too, and all it has to offer. Just hate what comes next!! Great Haiku!
@ Nishant You're right - it's been a long time since I wrote a haiku. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
@ Lala Absolutely right! And we can count ourselves fortunate to have experienced them in the first place. :)
@ Aine The season I hate to see go is spring. As much as I love the sunshine of summer, I adore the awakening that spring brings with it after a long winter.
@ K. Yes, autumn has a lot to offer in respect to colours. The trees have already begun their change here which is lovely to see. Glad you liked my haiku K.
Absolutely right Sarah, we appreciate the beauty of all four seasons because we don't have them all year round. The pleasure is in the looking forward and anticipation.
Oh I had those feelings this morning, the autumnal air made me mourn the end of summer.
ReplyDeleteMargaret! You've found a haiku! And a very lovely one this is, full of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteOh. I've been waiting for this. I like rains, I do but I love autumn/winters in India.
ReplyDeleteFull of festivals, holidays and long sleeps!
And still, there's a tear. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful for the end of summer and roses, farewell until next time my lovelies. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteseasons come and go, yet its so hard to say "bye", aint it?
ReplyDeleteLovely expression.
ReplyDelete@ Glynis
ReplyDeleteI'm mourning the end of summer too. We have to wait so long for it to come again.
@ Karen
Yeah Karen, you lost one - I found one... lucky me! :D
@ Aniket
Enjoy all the upcoming festivals and especially the long sleeps Zzzzz :)
@ Jason
I'm glad you noticed the tear. It's not as clear as I'd like it to be. I wish I had a better camera!
@ Cat
Thank you Cat! Yes, all we can say is farewell until next time.
@ Sawan
Bye is a sad word - in any sense. But at least it's not forever in this case. :)
@ Onkar
I'm glad you liked it, thank you!
WOW!! A perfect haiku Margaret! :)
ReplyDeletelovely!
It was my pleasure Leo, glad you enjoyed my haiku. :)
ReplyDeletethings do go. but they go only because they had come. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first year in ages that I'm sad to see summer go. I usually look forward with eagerness to the holidays and winter snows.
ReplyDeleteOh well, as you say, weep not. It will return in time.

I agree--weep not. We would not treasure each season so, if it lasted forever. The fleetingness is part of the prize.
ReplyDeleteA gentle, perfect haiku, Margaret.
