This week's prompt is the adverb slowly.
Nancy Bea of Genre Cookshop provides this classic by Kobayashi Issa to inspire you:
O snail
Climb Mount Fuji,
But slowly, slowly!
(Translated by R.H. Blyth)

Well just in case Mr. Linky is on strike here is my slowly haiku. This is a light-hearted one to counter the heaviness I have expressed lately.
Well, here is mine, thanks Nancy Bea for a good prompt!

There's nothing better than slow
I sat thinking about this prompt yesterday - not sure where to go with it, and then it started to snow...
I know this a recycle post but that was the one I was thinking of when I saw the prompt.
Thanks for using my prompt! Great photo!
..many thanks to Nancy Bea Miller
for a great prompt & her poem_
"Slowly descending,
the sky sifting its sugar
onto children's tongues"~snow fall..
I have really enjoyed reading the fruit from this week prompts ... even the ones that sent me running to the dictionary .... you all are so very talented.
