A nice flowing haiku, thought-provoking and insightful, this seems to bring about many images of mother nature's teachings and flows really well for the form.
Kind regards

This was a beautiful haiku and one that is dear to my heart. Mother Nature is always giving me peace and the serenity I need to stay positive. Great Job!

That's so true. There's always things we can learn from whether we do or not. You're poem does a great job pointing out one more learning source.

Hi Al!
Haiku are so dense, I'm not sure I can do one justice yet; but let's see.
Line one, teach us living by your example - you live, we learn. OK!
Line two, the infinite wheel of life, mother as self-reproducer, as symbol for the All, the ground of being. She from whom the infant separates at the age of 18 months in a great burst of self-awareness, via that all-purpose word, NO! :-)
Line three, the sum of living: whether we learn truly to live, or not learn, still we feel. Is this in juxtaposition to e.g. Buddhism, where to learn is to learn in part how to rise above feeling, to become one with the All of life? Personally I never admired that approach.
Thanks! - I enjoyed your haiku very much!
All the best, Gil.

Very nice. You have spoken of how we should learn from nature but it is up to us whether we really learn or chose not to. You have said a lot in just a few words, so clever.

Great little Haiku. Mother Nature definately teaches live. There really is no other way for her to teach. And, you are absolutely right we learn...or not. Thanks for sharing

I feel that anyone who can write a haiku deserves a five star rating. I've tried and tried and the words just allude me. Great job

Your haiku about nature is fine with the syllables and the message is one to ponder. Most of our early learning will come from our parents and nature will provide also. From there it's school and our peers that do the rest. The things we learn from nature are very important in how we deal with God's creation as we grow.
Nice job! V.A.

We feel, learn or not- true- we are always feeling- all thanks to a heart with no boundaries
