a few Richard Wright haiku I found
I feel autumn rain
Trying to explain something
I do not want to know.
Trying to explain something
I do not want to know.
A leaf chases wind
Across an autumn river
And shakes a pine tree.
Across an autumn river
And shakes a pine tree.
Droning autumn rain:
A boy lines up toy soldiers
For a big battle.
A boy lines up toy soldiers
For a big battle.
My attempts at this prompt : Lots of cold wet poems:
hazy autumn moon
caught in the oak tree branches
with curls of white smoke

November rain falls
leaves swirling in the gutter
puddles in the road
~
cold November rain
changes to icy drizzle
soaks though my worn boots
~
mid autumn evening
moonlight and raindrops glisten
light pools on pavement
~
dreary November
rain strikes colored umbrellas
which dot the sidewalk
~
bitter north wind blows
last of the dry autumn leaves
in mound at my feet
last of the dry autumn leaves
in mound at my feet
What a great response -- I'm especially fond of the third -- and the last -- and the one before that ----

All very nice but the first leaves me dreaming of a fire. I also like the light pools on pavement.
ReplyDeleteYes they are so pretty!
DeleteWhat a forage into autumn - it actually reads together to an autumn poem...
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wrote a few more that were more whimsical in my next post.
DeleteReally a beautiful, intricate Autumn set - with visual detail.
ReplyDeleteThanks... I've been on a roll the past 30 days and have written over 150 poems, not including daily haibun.
ReplyDeleteThe haiku about light pooling on the pavement is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteInspired by Richard Wright
