Haiku for Autumn



                                                              first glimpse of fall
                                                              what I planned to do . . .
                                                              what I did

                                                             slow line of traffic
                                                             above . . . the V formation
                                                             of geese

                                                             pelting the windshield
                                                             yellow poplar leaves
                                                             swished up by cars

__ As we float into another season, glancing back... is looking forward; nicely seen, Adelaide. _m

afloat on this pool
golden leaves set their new course
nature paints in time

Thanks, Magyar. leaves are falling, but the temp. feels like July I think they are falling from exhaustion, since there has been no freeze or cold nights.

Sandy said...

I laughed at the first -- me too!
loved the slow lane of traffic
and, can relate to the leaves


an afternoon wind
sweeps the driveway clean
the aster pot rolls

Thank you, Sandy and Gillena.

Yes, the wind sweeps the driveway clean, but not for long.
