haiku - change

leaves turn red -
a squirrel gathers
nuts.

******************

leaves fall -
geese fly south
in skeins.

*****************

robin sings
a different song -
bare branches


Change for One Deep Breath

    These all three are vivid images. The third is simply perfect. I really like the skeins.

  6. Particularly like this one:

    leaves fall -
    geese fly south
    in skeins.

    Love that "skeins," as if they are unknitting the season (or knitting the new one? :-D).

    The third is cool, too.

  8. Indicative, evocative haiku. Strange - I wrote skein of geese on my work sheet last week. Great minds? Cosmic thought? Grin. Good post!

  13. Hi Crafty! Beautiful imagery and wonderful sense of autumn's changes. Lots of life and sensitivity in these, too. I like the squirrel and the birds as they interact with nature's transitions.

    That is beautiful. Just what I needed to hear today. I say 'hear' because I tend to read poetry aloud, especially haiku, you get the musicality of it much more that way!
