Fate





fate is a leaf thrown
whirling in the wind, falling 
cup of blueberries 

~0~0

fate is a coin tossed
heads or tail on palm, waiting  
yellow cab departs 

~0~0

fate is skin colour 
like orange rind, not the seeds
green watermelon

    Blueberries mint leaf
    Sitting in a China cup
    Fate says I should eat

    I'm sorry, your haiku just made me feel playful this morning. The blueberries look so good. Lovely haiku all around.

    Peace

    Interesting takes, Grace. I can relate to that second one most, thinking of a decision while the opportunity has left! Well said.

    The very last one speaks to me this morning. I shall concentrate more on the seeds than on the rind...especially with my students. Thank you.

    "a coin tossed" - charming. Beautiful and clever takes of the prompt. All of them charming and to the point, though so varied.
    Best, M.
