Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 80. Leaves
I enjoy writing haiku, though these are admittedly far from perfect. No leaf is perfect either, yet the autumn experience can be exquisite. Through the months of September, October and November, the leaves speak to us. Or, at least they talk to me, anyway.
Over distant clouds
beams emerge through gold branches
in the stained-glass dawn.
Catalpas remain
clothed in their bright green garments,
bared only at frost.
Near leafless poplars
shiver in the morning breeze,
grieving and silent.
Leaves flee from the wind
like kids dancing and leaping,
at play in the sun.
Fallen, they now flow,
reflected flames on the creek
between the maples.
Countless orange stems
lie deep on the forest floor
whispering of June.
