Image: Unripe Dates - Timeless at an Oasis
Caressed at softly
Time a favored element
Savored by many
Not to be wasted
Not forgotten nor ignored
In squint of instance
Nibbled at slowly
Unique sweetness assured like
dates of the desert
Harsh conditions but
timely distribution with
timely distribution with
journeys undeterred
Written for Leo's at Haiuku Heights #266 with prompt - time
Beautifully expressed the fleeting moments of time
ReplyDeleteI love dates and now during these Ramzan month you find it in abundance!! I have no idea the difficulties involved till it reaches the markets!!

Such a lovely haiku poem...
ReplyDeleteNibbled at slowly
Unique sweetness assured like
dates of the desert....we try to rush through life missing the beauty of each moment
These are beautiful Hanks!
ReplyDeleteOh I wish time could be nibbled at slowly! Life is such a rush normally ~ your beautiful haiku shows us how it should be!
ReplyDeleteThe blessed ones get to nibble at time and savor its sweetness, the rest plough their way through it in a hurry trying to catch their distant dreams...Nice set Hank!!
ReplyDeleteCan you really nibble time? Is it as tasty as you say? :)
