As we sit and watchAnother season passesIn a bat of eye

Autumn

Earlier the nights Harvesting bountiful crops Southward Equinox Colors shed with fallen leaves Lulling toward winters sleep -Tanka repost. Happy 1st day of fall, my favorite season!

Haiku #332

An autumn break-in Robs us of precious daylight, And late summer nights

The biting, crisp reminders Send shivers up my spine From that moment in time – A late December morning When the semi-cool breeze Had enough of record heat Gusting thru the Inland basin Pushing summer to an end Where we all could fall in love With winter once again Plan to ring the New Year

Snow Flows

Swift moving meadows Glistening under the sun Hints of spring, snow flows

Daylight Cheated ~ #OctPoWriMo 6 of 31

The loud sound of the tick Never ceases to stop Eyes glued to the moving clock Hearing the tickity-toc The birdie does a trick Someone please make it stop! Each day quickly slips by Time doesn’t seem to care Daylight treated so unfair Little to no time to spare Cheated out of the blue sky

Contrails

The fading autumn sun deprives our light supply Robbing us of needed warmth and its energy Standing in the dusk holding onto the memory As atmospheric beauty streaks across the sky Satisfying our hearts desire and need to survive   Thanks to Kellie Elmore’s FWF image prompt for inspiring this short piece.
