Brief Autumnal Haiku

summer itches on,
die slowly, dear, or linger
autumn saunters in

barn owls hooting
pines bristling like hedgehogs -
leaves gold transform

the sun-browned grasses
crimson moon o'er city lights
red the fall anon



Haiku is not my specialty, turns out. But they are fun to try anyway.

    1. they are a biiiit embarrassing. forty years from now, I'll be poetic. They are just a bit too... brute and disconnected.

  2. Your rich prose goes down
    smooth and sharp within the bright
    moment of brief verse.
