Autumn Falls

birds on wing
carry the
news headlines 

bold print on
trees turned gold
with loud clues

growing slows
breezes cool
children walk

briskly talk
returning 
to school days

    i had not heard of the ellip form before, but I like it. Brief verses rather like haiku, but fewer restrictions.

    You manage to speak volumes with the economic use of the words. Perhaps echoing the autumn heralding winter - where we withdraw into our cozy nook. It read as a "haiku-like" string - Love it!
