Is this a boat for ants, or
For my weary soul?

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Beautiful haiku & photo… lovely imagery.
This is probably my favourite so far, and especially because the only reference to fall would be the idea of the leaf being crispy. Such an evocative image Sam😊
I love the idea of a leaf being a boat for ants! Like you let your inner child out to play and he wrote this haiku.
This one became a slow and frightening surprise. I love the idea of the ants using the leaf as a boat. What lovely sight to see. 🤗❤️
It would be more suitable for ants, lol. I'm so sorry, couldn't help myself 😅😅
This was great! I loved the image of a boat for ants made out of a leaf.
I love this
