First to Fall [Haiku]

by the green river,
one tree prematurely
takes Fall colors.

Monsoon Autumn [Haiku]

autumn afternoon:
 swollen clouds cut the light,
  it looks like sundown.

The Dead Space [Lyric Poem]

The trees will soon be barren, all.
 It is that time of year -- the Fall.

The understory never was,
 and can't now house the insect buzz.

And, so, the woods stand silently --
 nothing treads in peace, nor violently.

It's empty; devoid of motion:
 life hides below, as in Oceans.

It does feel like we're out to sea -
 a strange place where both sides are lee.

And - so - we're stuck, we can't move on,
 but can see promise over yon.

Blossom Plights [Haiku]

yellow petals drop:
 on the lake: washed together;
  on the ground: spread out.  

Melancholy Autumn [Haiku]

wistful autumn days:
 i look up to the blue sky
  from the tawny grass.

Chaotic Fall [Haiku]

rainy autumn day:
 wet leaves drop heavily
  as a lazy mob.

Treetop Fall Drop [Haiku]

the treetop leaves
that catch early & late sun
are the first to fall.

Autumn River [Haiku]

tall grass sways
beside the serene river
one warm Fall day.

Lazy Ride [Haiku]

a fallen leaf
rides the river downstream,
twisting lazily.
