Wrap the blanket up
around your shoulders and mine -
leave night chills behind
One final petal
drops beneath the fallen leaves
of the old oak tree
#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response
flowers bloom briefly
before the winter winds blow,
stretching out fall's sway
Our prompts for Sep 27-Oct 4.

Late September is
wearing a sky-colored

Red, after yellow,
after green; the chlorophyll
sleeps in cold weather

Noticing darkness
falling earlier each day;
Autumn's arrival
#SmallPoems #SundayHaiku response
(Hard not to notice the shortening days here in New England these days, as October rounds the bend on us)
darker earlier,
lighter later for morning,
mark fall's progression
Here, beneath the eaves,
safe from the threat of rainstorm,
we find some respite

The beach reveals all,
Stripped of saltwater dressing,
Rock pool oasis.
in the slant-dapple of late
September sun –
time promises

Wild geese flying high,
A call in the spring twilight,
Reminds me of you.

The fishing rod sings
with energy and movement;
it's all it and I
