Winter’s indulgence
indulgence of life’s transience
transient tastes triumph
triumphant nature
nature’s gifts reaped together
to gather to toast
toast, waffles and jam
jampacked is family do
doing mother’s will
Written for Sadje’s wdys, Eugi’s moonwashed musings weekly prompt and David’s W3 (a chain verse of at least 3 haiku including the word mother, by Aishwarya). Sharing at dVerse OLN.
Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate.

How beautifully unique! (somehow I managed to turn off my blog comments, unable to access the posts for your wonderful challenge, now I must return, read and leave comments .. well deserved I am certain.)

Rushed seasons add speed
The frost on top adds worry
Fir trees lift their arms
And new food arrives
For chickadees are hungry
Still squirrel eats last
Snow is melting now
Exposing green grass beneath
Tulips wait their turn

I really liked the style that you chose of three haikus. I don’t think I’ve seen that yet, but it’s effectively powerful. Thank you so much for sharing, and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Either Mother’s will or MIL’s will… 😉 The Family Glue?
…Just last eve out to dinner – one whole contingent should have just stayed home (as one was ill and didn’t even eat)… but the ‘Mother’ got what she wanted. (I was just observing…again – as a mother myself there really isn’t much I demand of my own – now that they are grown.)
