autumn graveyard -- one tree holds its leaves for no one in particular
Fall in the Cemetery [Haiku]
1

trees stripped bare -
the walker, once hidden,
is exposed to sky

two geese feed
around a bench long
vacated

lakeshore ducks
with heads turtle-tucked
against autumn winds

autumn afternoon —
the sun dips behind the hill,
faux sunset

a breeze gusts,
and a moment later
leaves lazily fall

the foothills seen
through flame-colored leaves
look painted

green to burnt orange,
one tree holds the range of hues -
sometimes in one leaf
