the gentle rainfall
droplets caress the petals
in the early morn
The gentle rain

One-Liner Wednesday: A Monoku Response
reddening leaves not yet journeying earthwards, soon autumn storms come
Here’s my contribution to Linda G. Hills “One-Liner Wednesday” prompt. I discovered this through Fandango’s response to the same prompt.
This is a monoku, essentially a variant of haiku. If you’re not familiar with them, Jason Muckley has a great explanation on his blog.
Autumnal Blooms
autumn progresses
rains arrive and the air cools
yet flowers resist
It surprises me, at times, the persistent resilience of flowers. Though fully in jacket and sweater season, flowers still reach to the cold sky.
Autumn Sunlight
autumn sunlight
moving through yellowed leaves
branches not yet bare
A Monday morning haiku
so the week begins
cool air, grey clouds, gentle mists
my tea calls to me
Tis a grey morning in Seattle. Autumn’s coolness fills my senses. Time to rise, drink some tea, then face the world.
An Early Autumn Haiku
cool autumnal day
hints of rain drifting past me
remembering songs
A rainy day haiku
walking through the trees
on this damp and misty day
water bringing life
Today’s Haiku: Autumnal Berries
walking through the trees birds chatter their annoyance while I pass under
Autumn Light, October 11, 2021
morning sunlight moves past the morning rain crows discuss the day
Under the Sunlight
under the sunlight
this gentle breeze sings to me
birdsong calming me
