november picnic
climb the hill to the summit
and lay on the grass
November 2 Haiku
last leaves on the vines
russet and brown, dangling
above the garage
(give yourself permission to write bad poetry)
Kellie Elmore: Autumn’s Apology
I got up to close the window
and saw her
she was spinning in the yard
and painting the leaves on my treessorry I was late
— Kellie Elmore, Autumn’s Apology
Haiku: September, Rust, Highway
September colors
rusting along the highway
meridian changes
Writer’s Block vs the Chilean Mine Disaster
When you neglect your work
it’s like a mine disaster
I think of all the people
trapped inside you
(after Richard Brautigan)
Haiku: Menotomy, Early Autumn, Cicadas, Late Summer
Menotomy lands
orange leaves upon a single tree
first sign of autumn
shrill drone of insects
green lawn dappled by sunlight
and wind in the leaves
Haiku: July, Sunday night, 10pm
after the day’s heat
cool breezes under dark skies
delicious relief
Haiku: July Sky Trees
supine under trees
latticework of green, blue sky
doing the yin work
Haiku: Settled Like a Stone in the Earth
rearrange the mind
settle into the moment
stone dropped in a well
Haiku: Mother of Storms
summer thunderstorm
ruffled waters of the pond
daughter of oya
