Walking

walk slowly, listen
to the birds and watch the clouds -
the best way to go.

Well said! It's the small things that matter. Always good to get a reminder for us to pay attention.

...And notice the flowers, trees, animals etc! Lovely, had me mentally out strolling on a spring day!

I love how your comments display as "birds singing." How did you set that up? Very clever.

This haiku is lovely!

Listening to the birds and watching the clouds is mandatory on a walk. Gives me hope!

this is my patch said...

My best therapy is to stop and listen to nature. Works every time. x

Yes ... and yes again! "The best way to go." Beautiful last line.

Great haiku - but for some reason my mind wants to flip the middle phrase round to 'listen to the clouds and watch the birds'!
