Fall Haiku

A f’n poem? Are you kidding me? Well fans, just mixing it up.

I mean, who doesn’t love themselves some Haiku? This came to me while I was harvesting leaves all afternoon.

Comments in meter please.

 

Fall, season I love

Except when winter follows

Summer that skipped us

 

The snow in October

Portends the ice of winter

Grumbling weather, it sucks

 

Soon the lake will seal

With frozen drifts of snow and ice

Where ripples once sailed

 

The leaves have fallen

Laying thick about the ground

Damp, dead. Summer ghosts

 

Burning leaves, lazy smoke

Evoking memories the past

Autumns of youth

 

Kids having a blast

Jumping into the piles

Outdoor playtime ends

 

When did the fun stop?

The autumn sort of lost it’s fun,

When fun turned into work.

    I really like this one! Nice use of poetic imagery!

  2. Lakeside, mountainside
    the colors end too soon when
    October snow flies
