Start with a Haiku then create 3 more Haikus using each line from the original.

When did I grow old?
In a moment? A year?
Transcendence is life.
When did I grow old?
Bright colors in crisp Autumn
Focus my reward.
In a moment? A year?
Wholeness created new value
A crescendo sweet.
Transcendence is life.
Seasons promote refinement.
Growth requires time.

Nicely done.
😊 Thanks very much!
Your welcome
Love the undercurrent of joy that runs through these lines, adding “color” indeed.
❤ Thanks, Dora. It’s as joyful a time period as I’ve had. Each stage holds new treasure.
I ask that question every day, but then I am privileged to grow old.
Yessiree! That’s the point. Thanks.
I love the discussion of growing old… when exactly did this happen. I ask myself this question too. This is a great Troika. 💜
So happy that you enjoyed it! Cheers to aging gracefully. ❤
Yes! We’ve got this. 🙌🏻 💜
profound beauty.
😊 Thanks.
A pleasure.
That last line says it all.
Thanks. Last lines aim for that! 😊
That was my thought too ❤
A beautiful piece, Susan!

😊💜🥰 David.
Aahh!! Beautiful. Especially loved the last one.
Pat
😊 Thank you, Pat.
Susan, your poem gave me pause for thought. As we transcend through time we get closer to the earth, which seems contradictory. Makes me wonder if heaven is found in the soil and not out in some endless outer space…
