Haiku- Autumn 2013

hound dog
and weather vane
point north

geese flying south,

black beans on the stove...

was four years ago

insomnia

or harvest moon

in the window

stark memory-

scarlet fire grove

proves genuine

sugar maple

above the frost,

a form of love

smoke rises

beyond where

leaves have fallen

tannic and silent,

father and son,

waterfowl hunt

momentary hawk,

above a hundred years

of russeting oaks

abandoned car

and a country road-

what was before

“Wealth Management”

and leaves spiral 

in the alley beside

scale of evening,

geometry of the sun

in falling degrees

have you found
the floating ladder
heard in a poem?

leafless branches-

yellow's gone onward

as November light
