Autumn Haiku- 2015

again geese fly south,
sibilant leaves
console

childhood song

on the car radio

losing reception

passing memory-
brush smoke to the side
with the road ahead

harvest moon,

soprano whole note

for all its worth

squirrel nuts-
emotions to scatter
and hoard

autumn colors-

foreign love affair

without subtitles

golden poplar
light enfolds
sweet parting

river current

and the last of it

out to sea

barren spaces,
oak branches,
crow reflecting blue



abandoned nest,
the sky makes
an offering

halloween blackout,

candles and shadows

danse macabre

full moon
the cold levity
of hoarfrost

nature of ego-

head coach with

a losing season

quiet light,

the wind too

with less to say
