Observation
One day as I walked through a native wood
I saw some berries bright and bold
Clinging to a wispy branch
That danced about as the wind took hold
How red they were, like lovers' lips
Intent on finding truth in trust
Nothing dared disturb their peace
Yet I knew that time would prove their dust
For the cardinals and the bluejays too
Know to avoid that which marks the eye
It is better to eat the lowly worm
Than a beautiful poison paralyze-

Yet I knew that time would prove their dust
For the cardinals and the bluejays too
Know to avoid that which marks the eye
It is better to eat the lowly worm
Than a beautiful poison paralyze-

That is a really pretty poem. I was so inspired by your haiku that I wrote some of my own, but I found that people follow different rules about them.
