Thanksgiving day

restaurant row -
a bird and beggar share
leftover crumbs
inside, a family enjoys
turkey and apple pie

after the weekend
piles of bags and leaves
dot the curb

DUSK

Parrots stop chirping
on the guava tree--
autumn dusk

--R.K.SINGH

SPIDERS

Weaving webs
between branches and leaves
autumn spiders

--R.K.SINGH

AWAITING

Awaiting
the wind's blow at door
autumn leaves


--R.K.SINGH
After the blizzard
a treasure hunt in the snow:
digging out the house

currents

out in the ocean
carried by currents
an auburn leaf

sur la clôture du pré

Atlanta autumn--
the last leaf
gone with the wind

an autumn
downpour

early commute
just enough snow and leaves
to use the wipers

Later

























later
a thousand tongues
sqaubbling in the wind

raking

raking
autumn's beauty
lost on me

autumn haiku poetry

At the Nursery

pecking the pollen -
orange and black butterflies
around purple flowers
afternoon walk
brown canna stalks
lean against the house


dead leaves gilt in gold
,
another autumn day gone by
--like empty promise

corner gust
grabs favourite hat -
slick and quick I must react
she tidies up
her near empty desk
one more layoff

Winter Haiku 2008/2009

Greetings all! Let me just say that the caliber of work being produced has been on a grand scale! I hope you all are keeping copies of your own work for yourselves. Autumn is always the most reflective and romantic of times for me personally, and it is usually a time when I'm more productive. so i always look forward to it with great anticipation......

But, all good things must end, and we have a little over a month left before Autumn offically runs out and winter kicks in, so it's time to start thinking about when to end this glorious experiment for another year. Personally, I'm of the opinion that we should keep Autumn around for as long as possible, so what do you all say to wrapping things up on December 21st, the first official day of winter?

While were thinking about closure for the autumn blog, it's time to talk about a winter Haiku blog as well. Does anyone want to oversee it? I dont mind putting it up and running it, unless someone else wants to give it a try. Any takers? lets talk about it in the comments, or you can e-mail me @ songofnovember@gmail.com
