I just realized that we haven’t had a writing blog for some time, so what better time to correct that situation than autumn, when the air is pregnant with possibilities and the fragrance of change. I admit it, autumn is my absolute favorite time of year. I love the colors, the holidays, and the cooler weather. The way the birds are more active and the breeze more crisp. So come, you writers. Share your haikus about autumn and harvest.
In case you need a refresher on haiku:
It’s a Japanese form of poetry that captures a moment, creating a picture in just a few words. We’ll use the traditional standards for haiku, so your poems (which don’t need to rhyme) should consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line.
Got it?
Okay, here are my offerings:
Richly colored leaves
Float in playful abandon
Autumn! Welcome home!
Scent of harvest earth
Carried on caressing winds…
You make my nose smile.
Corn maze, pumpkins, leaves,
Cider, cooler days
Welcome back my friends!
