One final petal
drops beneath the fallen leaves
of the old oak tree

flowers bloom briefly
before the winter winds blow,
stretching out fall's sway
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
chill on equinox
overnight, upper forties
marks arriving fall

Lightning bayonets
striking trees, thundering fierce;
we stay inside, safe

Yesterday, we were under a tornado watch (and hail watch) in the afternoon and it was scary for about 20 minutes. Nothing touched ground here, but there was constant bursts of close lighting and heavy rains.
a sliding cold front
delivers needed rainfall,
breaking summer drought

Sunshine deception:
what looks warm from the inside
chills you on the out
#SmallPoems#SundayHaiku response
(I needed another layer this morning with the dog -- it looked warmer than it was)
cool temps overnight
kept me snuggled in my bed
longer than normal
@Algot
Was a hint of rain
hiding in the clouds again,
where sky meets motion?

skimpy showers fail
to overcome sunbaked grass
under summer skies
@Algot
A cool morning breeze,
briskly foreshadows the day's
approaching heat
#SmallPoems#SundayHaiku response
hoping for sunshine,
though without blistering heat,
for this August day
heat abated here
but not elsewhere in August
where heavy rain falls
The air, cold and crisp,
belies an August's presence;
Autumn elbows in

birds awake on time
to remind us of our chance
to enjoy today

A sound from the trees:
winged musicians on a branch
take a chance on song

Blink once; flowers bloom;
we're sitting inside the room,
just weather-guessing
