Sound & Silence [Haiku]

insects chirp
under autumn skies; the
river runs silent.

Autumn Denial [Haiku]

grass dries & withers,
the trees yellow & thin...
but one vital shrub.

Longanimity [Haiku]

one last leaf,
its longanimity great,
falls -- unseen.

Burnable World [Haiku]

after the harvest,
farmland - dry & ignitable:
distant smoke.

Showing Gold [Haiku]

riverside tree:
shows gold to the outside;
its core, still green.

Painted Hills [Haiku]

after harvest,
farmers burn off stalks:
distant painted hills.

“Raven at Dusk” by Matsuo Bashō [w/ Audio]

on a barren branch
a raven has perched —-
autumn dusk

“Autumn” by Amy Lowell [w/ Audio]

All day I have watched the purple vine leaves
Fall into the water.
And now in the moonlight they still fall,
But each leaf is fringed with silver.

Spring Tricks [Haiku]

early Spring leaves,
catching the morning light,
look Autumn yellow.
