 last day of autumn
the space between trees
filled with fog

Haiku


 bouncing leaves
the wind changes
to a new rhythm

another day
pushing against the wind
autumn leaves

Haiku


                                                           crisp morning

                                                           the flush of steaming coffee

                                                           on the back steps

Haiku for Autumn


old tree stump
the same woodpecker
whittling it down

tree gazing
the brightest shades of red
on poison ivy

non-stop rain
puddles connected
into a pond

Haiku for autumn



tilting graves
composting histories
in fallen leaves

small town
swallowed by shadows
in early dusk

early morning
the silence broken
by a single honk

Haiku


a quick flowing stream
in late afternoon
the hurried shadows




full moon
on my neighbor's porch
a new light



goldenrod
growing in abundance
a new restlessness

Haiku



                                                             
                                                               windfall apples
                                                                I cook the fruit
                                                                in a dented pot

                                                        late autumn
                                                        driving toward the sunset
                                                        all the way home

                                             house for sale
                                             dried leaves scatter
                                             this way and that
                                     
                                             fog in the hollow
                                             the cadence of leaves
                                             dripping on leaves

                                                    today's wind
                                                    stripping autumn
                                                    to the bone

                                                    masons at work
                                                    creeping along the stone wall
                                                    afternoon fog

                                                    heavy fog
                                                    the changing shape
                                                    of this day

                                                   damp infested wood
                                                   growing in the garden shed
                                                   two types of mushrooms

                                                   autumn garden
                                                   gathering this and that
                                                   for a last display

                                                   mist and fog
                                                   the smeill of November
                                                   decomping

Haiku



                                              death of a friend
                                              more leaves
                                              turning brown

                                              autumn leaves
                                              the puppy switches directions
                                              with the wind

                                              storm clouds part
                                              a spotlight shines
                                              on autumn

Haiku



                                                 autumn damp–
                                                 old leaves composting
                                                 on the back lot

                                                 the cool of evening–
                                                 a hint of spiced apples
                                                 from a house

                                                 piles of dried leavaes
                                                 hardened by last night's frost–
                                                 more crunch in my step

Haiku



                                      October rain
                                      splashing red and gold
                                      on the brick path

                                      breathing
                                      the sharpness of autumn
                                      no words spoken

                                      early morning light
                                      filtered through autumn's trees
                                      your waking smile

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
