Memories of a

Blissful youth we must respect,

And then turn to grow.

i love haikus, because they challenge the writer to get across a meaningful and full story in very few words. You suceeded here! this just invokes so many thoughts and images about our young lives and having to leave those as we grow up, then repeat the process. from elementary to middle school, from middle school to high school, high school to college, college to life
this is probably my favorite haiku that i've read on this site
great work

You did it. A story in the fewest words
possible .
This is excellent writing and positive
thinking.
Thank you

and then ... move into growth.

Wow!!! That was hardly a "simple haiku". That was a phenomenal senryu! Honestly, that may have been one of the best of its kind I've read in the Cafe. A condensed, profound, applicable, clever message to all us youth. Definitely one of my favorites. Thank you.
