Technically, some of these are senryu. Others are lossely haiku, since dealing with quantums is another qualification from nature poems. Still, well stated takes on, yesterday was today, tomorrow is yet to be, today is the present, so treat it as a gift....

Morning Paul Love these.
"Yesterday :

Once had been today
The memories of before
Shadows of the past

Today :

It is here and now
Make the best of what you have
Live for the moment

Tomorrow :

A time yet to be
Do not rush the arrival
It may never come "
Happy Labor Day yes long weekend dear friend
enjoy and be blessed
Hugs
