 ~ Autumn Thoughts ~

(freestyle haiku)

 

autumn trees

stripping out of their leaves

discretely

~~

under naked trees

lost glove lying

palm up in colored leaves

~~

scent of burning leaves

hover over a frosty evening

large harvest moon

~~

cold gray rain

washing the landscape

colors running together

~~

crisp nights

after the harvest

winter is near

~~

low hanging mist

covering like a blanket

a frosty field

~~

dried brown leaves

chase each other around

empty school yards

~~

a child’s laughter

drifts away

crisp autumn breeze

~~

against the window

night keeps pressing

it’s dark face

~~

a flight of geese

pulling winter behind them

like a bleak banner

~~

Each free style Haiku is a gem in itself and you have mastered this venue very well in each descriptive write. I. too, enjoy writing Haiku's and you have inspired me, with your writes, to delve beyond the obvious and look at Haiku's in a different light. Thank you.

As usual, Carole, your words are outstanding, picturesque and wrap around the mind like a soft, warm coverlet. What a joy to drift through your haikus!
*a flight of geese
pulling winter behind them
like a bleak banner*

This is perhaps the bleakest of them all, in their color and enjoyment, but also perhaps the most apropos for the coming weeks. (:D

*autumn trees
stripping out of their leaves
discretely*

As I read this gem, I thought also that the word *slipping* would fit here also. *Stripping* right now is how our trees are shedding their jewels, though. LOL

Peace. Joyce
