season’s change stirs thoughts
mind wanders with falling leaf
new buds come with time
The two word prompts for RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Prompt Challenge #110 are change and mind. Typically, as I wrote this I got lost halfway through. As I was ready to post (photo selected, the whole nine yards), I realized my haiku was missing one of the key words, so I started over. Now I wonder if the final haiku is actually about my writing process. The original (one word short) is below.
dry leaf falls to ground
new bud nourished by past life
change measured by time
rivrvlogr 
By my count, the original has exactly the right number of syllables.

True, but i realized I used only one prompt word (change), so I wrote a second haiku.

Oh, I see. I thought you meant you were a syllable short. Missing out 50% of the prompt is possibly a bit remiss 🙂

A not Haikuan response;
“The pressing need to reconstruct
the first and perfect words
To so accommodate the ‘mind’
Is a fair metaphor of life
When we must reconstruct our soul
So to accommodate a wife.”

Interesting in light of the comment that you made on my post today about your thoughts being scattered and the use of prompts. 🙂
I like both haiku.

Thank you. In hindsight, I think that comment may have been the seed that lead to the final haiku.

It must be the heat that has autumn beckoning.
But September will be here soon. (K)

Me either. It’s pretty oppressive.

Pretty haiku

That’s happened to me. I get carried away and one of the prompts disappears. I like both haiku very much but if I had to choose I think I favour your final one… It has a lighter feel with falling leaves and wandering thoughts.
