fleeing cool autumn
summer’s final mosquito
retreats inside house
wind rattled scarecrow
stands askew trembling, useless
crows gather en masse
Filed under haiku
driving, cold north wind
brings with it winter too soon
will autumn return?

vulgar, cold, fall wind
wakes primal feeling in dog
rattles old windows

fly on windowsill
cool breezes tolling death knell
seeks reprieve indoors

melancholy feel
sweeping through the opened house
cold night, shutting doors

morning insects hum
cool air envelopes the house
flying geese call fall
