Bells

Fresh blueberries fall, /

clap against the metal bowl. /

The bells of summer.

Seeds

Seeds before the moon, /

autumn leaves dangling like dreams, /

perishing tonight.

In a moment

Dying autumn leaf, /

Whisper now how winter comes: /

With love or without?

Fall flowers

Paths of fall color /

Descending from summer /

Color winter’s way.

Sunflower petals, /

a community as one /

turned toward the sun.

Glimpses

With glimpse after glimpse /

you see the mind’s true nature /

and wisdom flowers.

Reflection

Upon reflection, /

I am what I am not. /

The mirror breaks.

Still green

As days grow shorter, /

September’s green tomatoes /

still age on the vine.

Beyond the autumn, /

up, down, around, and about, /

dreams and snowflakes curl.

Young leaves unfold, /

search for the calling sun, /

awaken to Spring.

Last chance

Toward the waning sun /

the October sunflowers /

aim their last chance blooms.

Abandoned

Piled in the corner, /

abandoned by the season: /

summer dreams and leaves.

Rainbow

See the pale rainbow /

arc February’s sky: /

thinly there, then gone.

Haiku in the fall

Haiku in the fall. /

Stripped of ornamentation, /

words live sparingly.
