Scarlet born morning,
Oak's last whirligig scatters-
Sorrow haunts my dreams

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."

This is beautiful and has so much depth for seventeen syllables. Blown away.
So beautiful and haunting.
Satisfying. The 'orn' in born and the 'orn' in morning. 👌🏾 Ooo I see a word I don't think I've seen before. Whirligig. Love that. Then the third. I see the sadness but I am drawn in by the s. I see how you've included the s into a greater than sign. I can't be the only one that noticed that. I might be a strange bunny that just needs to hop away. Did you intend that or...? Totally accidental?... Regardless of which. I do like seeing this in poetry. If it can be done that is. By no means a must. Fantastic work as always 🤗❤️
I had to Google whirligig, hahaha. This was so deep and poignant. Loved your Haiku!
You evoke the sadness that autumn can sometimes bring about as the harbinger of change. Beautiful haiku.
This is gorgeous
Quite emotional in writing this one. Good job
Excellent haiku!!! Loved every word you chose!
Oooh this is fantastic, Marilyn, has a bit of everything. A bit of whimsical, mentioning the whirligig, with that last line packing a poignant punch. Loved it! well done!
