Haiku



HAIKU FOR AUTUMN

a shift in the wind
all my neighnbor's leaves
are now mine

morning fog
a watercolor wash
of maple gold

woodland walk
all of autumn
under my feet

A very nice autumn set, Adelaide. In particular, I love the humour in the first haiku...

Thank you Frank and Henrique.

In our former house it was most annoying to rake our leaves and then have to do it over again because the wind sent over the neighbor's leaves.
