Colors of Pumpkin

colors of pumpkin, 
vermillion and deep gold---
    veiled mysteries air

branches intertwine
in a sea of canopies---
    harvest moon rises

gilded by the dawn
and swayed by a seasoned wind---
    shades of art abound

I was speaking of autumn in my first haiku. Guess I veiled it a bit too much. I used pumpkin as one of the autumn colors. Thanks so much for your comment Jack. I think Owen thought I was speaking of pumpkins too.

Beautiful haiku series, Connie...perfect 5-7-5 syllable count which is how I try to write them...love the alliteration as well...have a wonderful day - Tim

Connie, thanks for your wonderful words on the bird sonnet. I think you are able to read "about poem" by clicking above my poem on that part. I just added a little comment about the bird that inspired that poem and I hope you will read it. It is something I really enjoy seeing every time I come home from work recently! About the soupmail you sent me, I agree with you!! (you can see my comment at the blog)

Connie, now this is what I call metaphorical haiku. The type that our mutual friends would not accept as haiku. but i tell you what. THESE ROCK!!! I especially love the middle one.

Very descriptive and creative Haiku..It soon will be pumpkin time but now with the heat of summer it doesn't seem it will ever be cool again..I am glad that I chose this one to read today..Thanks for stopping by..Sara
