fall’s standard colors
reds, browns, oranges, yellows
arrive late this year
#350 – shed
trees have shed their leaves
black limbs sway against pale sky
evening sunlight fades

Halloween over
assorted candies eaten
stomach ache remains
#348 -Ghosts
winter ghosts through town
howling, swirling windswept snow
snowfall left as trick
Filed under haiku, haiku heights
#347 – famous Basho haiku
moonless night…
a powerful wind embraces
the ancient cedars
all night
autumn winds being heard
behind the mountains
#346 – undecorated
november the first
undecorated fall house
ghouls, goblins packed away
#345 – old friends
uneven laces
twenty year old jungle boots
in need of polish
rescued from closet’s corner
reviving, patient old friends
Filed under tanka

stronger than before
life fell apart months ago
self distance practiced
Filed under senryu

wind rattled scarecrow
stands askew trembling, useless
crows gather en masse
