Written for Haiku Heights
April Challenge..
Prompt : Play
Also Shared with One single Impression
Prompt: Wassail
Before the main course let me confess:
Words fall in my head
and my heart plays with them
Soul creates haiku..
****
Ah, Life Is a Game
Ah life is a game;
but then it will be curtains
with final whistle
With final whistle
will vanish the ground;
the spectators
The spectators
for whom we often play;
entertainment
Entertainment
no more for others, hey;
play for the soul
Play for the soul
lets go wassailing for
sweet happier fruits
Sweet happier fruits
come from constant fair play;
Ah, life is a game..
RS:)
Prompt for OSI Sunday is the word Wassail refers to several related traditions; first and foremost wassailing is an ancient southern English tradition that is performed with the intention of ensuring a good crop of cider apples for the next year's harvest.
