fall night haiku

october night breeze
quickens the blood, stops those who
mourn the summer

cabin feven haiku

a day spent indoors
pupils shrink, muscles twitch, and
the world disappears

eden haiku

We saw the outlines
of nature before knowing names,
old Adam and I.

watched haiku

woodchuck and raccoon
past the hedge have realized
we are barely here

sunrise sunset haiku

sunrise's reveille
soft and mild. some fall sunsets

early fall morning haiku

beds become cozy
days shorten, leaves peak then die
autumn changes things

morning shower haiku

brisk October morn
mortifies our flesh until
hot morning showers

squirrel haiku

fattened squirrels scour
brush and leaves for final nuts,
fearing autumn's chill

southern live oaks haiku

hesitant live oaks
will soon reveal this winter's
hidden mistletoe

fall season tv haiku

inhale and exhale
that cool fall air hits the throat
new TV season

ice cream truck haiku

dear gaunt ice cream man
your music and wares are bleak
and the leaves have changed
