Child, ‘tis not yet time…
Early blossom, errant youth,
Don’t grow up too fast.

The Eclectic Eccentric 
I like this poem. Our children grow up too fast. A amazing poem. Thank you.
heck, I grew up to fast.lol thank you 🙂
I shall be pinning this to my two teenage daughters’ walls. Beautiful take on the prompt. Thank you 🙂
haha thank you ^^
My grand daughter is two in a few weeks and already she acts like she is 10! Way too fast…Nice Haiku as always.
your what???!!! seriously, you don’t look like a grandpa!
haha thank you, love keeps me looking young 😉
🙂
very eloquent
Poignant–nicely done.
thank you 🙂
I agree with all those comments above. Children are growing too fast nowadays. Perhaps your haiku can slowing them down.
ah but a mere haiku would never be enough 🙂
Unfortunately, parental advice such as “don’t grow up too fast” is often ignored…
Too Early
Gradual growth is better 🙂
Beautifully expressed yearning in your wisdom!
You have o way of gently but persistently touching raw nerve: your writing reaches places others don’t, whether in poetry or prose, Really well done kz..
Another beautifully poignant piece
I like your creative link between an early blossom and youth.
The song, oft unheard, of parents everywhere! Nicely done, as always!
Sometimes I wish I never grew up… But we have the child within us until we die
Excellent haiku. Many are badly done. Life: grow up too fast, then spend most of the rest of your life trying to ‘recover your lost youth’. Ah, humans!
I can hear your mom saying it. 😆 or mine
Always lovely. This one is sooo sweet. Mine grew up too fast.
