Frost's rule comes to pass:
beauty, gold, drops by briefly;
lives and leaves abide.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Thank you so much for reading this haiku! It was written primarily as an homage to the great Robert Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay," a lovely, melancholy, and seasonally reflective poem (which so happens the first poem I ever memorized!). I was so excited when I realized his own last name could function with double, seasonally appropriate meaning in this little piece. Anyhow, thanks again for stopping by - I hope the shifting seasons treat you well, friend!

As a fellow admirer of Robert Frost, I love this -- both your homage and the haiku itself.
Lovely image- I like the feel of the last line, has a nice weight to it
Well-wrought, Gabriel! The literary double entendre was a special treat!
Well done all for itself, but burnished just a little brighter with its layer of homage
Love that poem and love your homage :) Well done, sir!
