Autumn Haiku: Poetry
October, 2004
A series of ten Haiku poems.
Poem 1:
A hint of autumn
cooling temperatures
tomatoes red and ripe
Poem 2:
Maples leaves yellow
the first sign of autumn
colors changing slowly
Poem 3:
Starry autumn nights
Orion leads the hunt
his faithful dogs nearby
Poem 4:
Birds in migration
swoop on autumn thermals
heading south for winter
Poem 5:
Gazing to and fro
autumn colors dazzle
with orange, yellow, red
Poem 6:
Leaves fall one by one
brilliant autumn colors
swirling, dancing, floating
Poem 7:
Woolly bears tiptoe
feeding on grasses and weeds
among autumn leaves
Poem 8:
Autumn frost settles
on scary pumpkin carvings
Halloween is near
Poem 9:
Mums and foxgloves bloom
their seeds will scatter soon
as autumn nears its end
Poem 10:
Tree colors shimmer
kayak on cold, calm water
autumn reflections
