time oft hangs heavy
but our growth can be stunted
in this fast-paced world
I can be a bit of a flibbertigibbet, hopping from one prompt to another. I love continuity and stability at the same time. I’m a bit of a Schrodinger’s Writer!
I found this prompt courtesy of my new-found blogging friend, Shadeau (thank you, dear lady for popping up in my reader today!).
So here is my entry into the Ronovan Writes weekly haiku prompt, where we are invited to write on the themes of time and grow. I did use ‘growth’ instead, I hope nobody minds!
Why not take part yourself?
It can be a challenge to keep up or even notice that we aren’t keeping up.
Indeed it can. Thank you for commenting!
I often think of this world as fast-paced. We want everything as fast as possible.
It can be too much, at times.
A very poignant haiku and response to the prompt, I love your take on it!
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for the lovely mention! And I do love your poem, as I relate deeply to “stunted growth”. β€
You’re welcome, Shadeau! And thank you π

You’re very welcome – and thank you!
