Even though it’s now
Almost winter, there’re still leaves
On the willow bough

#haiku

Blood-red poppies grow
In the fields where formerly
Winds of war did blow

#haiku

Midday drowsiness
After lunch, and now I wish
I had eaten less

#haiku

Suddenly my dog
Starts to growl at something vile
Lurking in the fog

#haiku

One more balmy day
After that the winter cold
Will be here to stay

#haiku

Like the evening sun
Only sets to rise again
You are never gone

#haiku

truth does not
require violence
for its vindication

On the mantelpiece
Photographs; but in my heart
Pain that doesn’t cease

#haiku

Watchful ravens soar
High above the fields where the
Scarecrow stood before

#haiku

Strong winds blow away
Clouds that have been gathering
Over me all day

#haiku

Something’s happening
All is still, then suddenly
Birds take to the wing

#haiku

Vicious bindweed spreads
Through my garden, creeping on
Trees and flower beds

#haiku

Strange how autumn brings
Bittersweet memories of
Long-forgotten things

Something’s happening
All is still, then suddenly
