Carpe Diem Haiku Special *O. Mabson Southard’s ‘chanting, the pond’s frogs’*

For the first Carpe Diem Special of September there is the following haiku by O. Mabson Southard to inspire us:

* * *
Chanting, the pond’s frogs …
among the lilies’ dark pads –
the twinkle of stars

* * *

And here’ s my humble attempt to write a haiku in the similar spirit and mood:

* * *
golden leaves in pond 
weeping willow’ s nakedness
silence of the frogs

* * *
