Autumn Haiku

gust of autumn wind

tickles my ankles and legs

twirling me around

~

in the autumn light

long shadows grow longer

down the country lane

~

golden leaves quiver

in the afternoon sunlight

nuthatch forages

Richard Wright on Autumn

Carpe Diem Ghost Writer #33 Richard Wright on Autumn by Jen of Blog It or Lose It

a few Richard Wright haiku I found

I feel autumn rain
Trying to explain something
I do not want to know.

A leaf chases wind
Across an autumn river
And shakes a pine tree.

Droning autumn rain:
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

More Autumn Haiku

harvest moon waning 

leaves blow hither and thither

tapping woodpecker

just before evening

wild geese break formation

honking noisily 

Autumn Haiku

late rose blossoms

crimson against the pale sky

petals tipped with frost

cool winds whisper change

trees shed their summer garments

gaily children rake

trees in autumn splendor

spread their cloaks upon the ground

bowing to the wind

cool air stinging ears

loud snores reverberating

crickets incessant
