Autumnal Leaves

Autumnal Leaves

glorious red leaves
autumn breezes gently brush
this life giving rain

Autumn Flowers

Autumn flowers, decaying slowing, gracefully

in this autumn rain
flowers feel the grasp of time
morning moving past 

Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves

in this gentle breeze
reddened leaves dance graceful
in the morning mist

It’s been a busy week. I started fall quarter and ended up with a stomach bug. Those two items sucked up the majority of my time. I’ll have more updates shortly.

I hope everyone of you is well and that you’re feeling refreshed and re-energized.

rain upon my face
joyous autumnal breezes
all the earth refreshed

Today’s Haiku: A Heavy Rain


ferocious rain falls 
battering leaves and flowers
days fade into night

Monday morning haiku

dawn upon the clouds
hints of red within the leaves
gentle morning mists

Today’s Haiku and Graphic

political signs
laying forgotten in the weeds
within autumn rain

Summer’s Walk

Vibrant sky

this vibrant blue sky
delightful Summertime warmth
autumn approaching

This is a tree I’ve walked by myriad times. Today, with a cloudless sky, I stood out on my walk. Though it’s still summer weather, the crispness of autumn makes its presence known. Soon…very soon, summer will retire. As much as I love summer autumn holds a dear place one my heart.

Haiku: September 4, 2021

Summer Flower

as the summer fades
at the air somewhat cooler
boldest of flowers

Lily Pads

pink water lily flower on water
deep within the woods
a pond with lily pads
dragonflies pass by

The above haiku is my response to today’s “Baffled Haiku Challenge“, a daily prompt posted on Twitter by the user Baffled. I try to contribute daily to this community. It’s a pretty awesome group of people.
