Today’s Carpe Diem Prompt is Silk.
Today I offer a 3 stop journey into the life of Silk…
The Bombyx mori
Breaks fast on mulberry tree
For our sheer delight
~ | ~
For 4000 years
Merchants have trod the Silk Road
For their stock in trade
~ | ~
Caught by vice and spice
Exotica brought to dock
Will Silk save the day?
On that note, I’ll close my case and await your judgement.

I patiently read the first two…feeling you must have a zinger for the third…and I wasn’t disappointed. A travel down the silk road for all times.

Thanks for redirecting me! Wonderful Haiku; a journey from silkworm to silk, past to present, thread to desire and more with such vivid imagery. I have so much to learn! I found your other blog positively enchanting as well.
