More autumn haiku

Autumn Haiku


step over brown leaves
pull on the extra blanket
I can feel them fall


leaves have been changing
slipping into longer sleeves
now I feel the change


(10/2/12–10/4/12)

Trying to capture that "haiku moment," an instant impression of the here and now of experience and embodied perspective, is not as easy as 17 syllables. These are two haiku I wrote recently trying to express the same idea with, I feel, varying success.

Autumn haiku

Haiku

dew on the car top

brace against the morning chill

summer is over

Late summer / early fall Haiku

Bracing hand-in-hand,
    leaning into the strong wind,
old fence posts hold strong.

This is a revision of a haiku I wrote years ago while traveling through Montana with my family. Sorry it's been quiet here for a while. Soon classes will be starting up again for me.
