Numerous acorns

Gathered on the cold ground

Hard Winter coming

Prompt From:

Carpe Diem

“That’s truly being one with nature … to have the ability to read nature’s signs. Those signs are all around us. In plain simple words I can say: As I see the buds of the cherry grow … than I know that spring is coming. Or … as I see the changing colors of leaves at the end of summer I know that autumn is coming.
Isn’t that beautiful? Let me look at our beloved haiku … what do I see? I see kigo (seasonwords) who are pointing to the season in which the haiku was written … through those kigo we can read nature … that makes the haiku not only a Japanese poetry form, but also a poetry form of the Altai Mountains, haiku is part of Tengrism … look around you …. see the signs of nature and read them … just read them.
