Autumnal haiku - senses

Sweet cherries
hang ripe on the trees -
free snacks!


bonfire smoke
rises from the garden -
sharp frost.


a robin perches
on a bare branched tree –
sunrise.


a robin sings
a melancholy song -
first snow fall


autumn wind -
the roughness of falling leaves
brushes my hair



More haiku on the senses on my Alter Ego blog.

  1. Excellent series of haiku - I particularly like the last one, and can really feel the "roughness of falling leaves brushing my hair."

    Well done:)

  3. The bonfire smoke to frost part stood out to me. They shouldn't go together, but do.

  8. Excellent, all. I manage to produce one. I'm impressed by how many you and a few others produce and all so rich and varied.

    I like the first and last ones best. The first for its energy burst and the last for it's wistful romantic mood.
