#Haiku Happenings #5: Ron Lavette’s latest #tanka for #withrealtoads!
The prompt from The Imaginary Garden:
The Japanese phrase mono no aware (moh noh noh ah wah ray) refers to a wistful sadness at the passing of things. This includes leaves falling, the first frost, the ending of a relationship, the ending of an era, or death.
Under this deep snow
something green waits patiently
—or so it is said—
we can only remember
remember and remember
