Seasons [Free Verse]

I

I remember Spring:
   tight and tender buds,
   soon to blossom

clouds -- low & swollen, 
   & rain scent in the air
II

I remember Summers:
   the season of freedom...

and mosquitoes,
   but, also, fireflies

exploration &
   calamine lotion
III

I remember the Fall:
   harvest time

Grain chaff in the air
   axle grease on the wind

Canadian geese
   Honk-Honk-Honk-ing
   in wedge formation
IV

I remember winters:
   snow days

snow drifts

the feel of the first morning
    of the season in which
    one woke up to a blanketing snow,
    having gone to bed with 
    pathetic matted grass

The Autumn Trail [Haiku]

the autumn woods -
 leafless & grass matted - is
  rife with life, unseen

Unhindered [Haiku]

fall leaves will drop,
 and the winter river view
  will be unhindered.

Autumn Orange [Haiku]

autumn orange:
 to live most brightly
  just before the end.

Autumn Wildflowers [Haiku]

as leaves fall, &
 weather cools, i'm warmed by
  autumn wildflowers.

Breaking Bleak [Haiku]

autumn colors,
 like a pointillist painting
  that'll break bleak.

Faux-Autumn [Haiku]

two-season tropics:
rain-slick yellow leaves
fib that it's autumn
