Carpe Diem’s Tan Renga Challenge Month #XXVI, Opie Houston’s ”O sweet October”

Posted on November 26, 2013 by Georgia

This is the haiku for starting the Tan Renga Challenge:

oh, sweet october…
spare thy frost on yonder grapes
our sweet summer wine

(c) Opie Houston

saw you not the red leaves change
quickly gather vine’s sweet fruit

(c) Bastet

A quick harvest is better than no harvest at all!

  Yep Sun, you’ve got the right idea…even if you want raisins you’ve got to get them off the vines or they get moldy with a late rain 🙂
