Autumn Haiku 2

Soft, warm Autumn breeze

blows among bright yellow leaves

readies them for death.

Autumn Haiku 1

Ivy-covered steps

silent, peaceful place above

sunlight filters through.

CARPE DIEM

Red autumn leaves

Rushed by the wind

Tossed, curled and whirled

Above life’s ordinance

Inevitable

The belly-lifting drop

Ineluctable spiral

Down, down to death.

Haiku for a Magpie

Magpies black and white,

machine gun clatter chatter,

strut across the grass.
