David Crandall Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

9/18/2024 for Autumn Haiku - Set of Three Poetry Contest sponsored by Tania Kitchin

autumn

leaves fall and settle 
a grim naked tree remains 
a sad skeleton 

the sun drops early
surrenders to a full moon
a dread foreboding

a wee shy princess
she, speechless, with arms outstretched 
lifts a candy bag

Andrea Dietrich September 22, 2024 at 7:33 PM Very well presented signs of the fall, David. David Crandall September 22, 2024 at 7:49 PM Thanks Andrea. I have to admit. Where I live now, Fall is not my favorite season. I prefer summer!

Linda Alice Fowler September 22, 2024 at 1:18 PM So cute Dave. You're certainly in touch...:) Linda Alice Fowler September 22, 2024 at 6:14 PM No trick or treaters since I live the rural life now. When I lived in civilization, I always decorated my house and encouraged trick or treaters to stop by. I even dressed up myself! I love Halloween! David Crandall September 22, 2024 at 2:37 PM Thanks, do you get trick or treaters?

Andrea Dietrich September 20, 2024 at 7:18 AM Ahhh from scenic to sweet with the lady one about a trick or treater. Well done David Crandall September 20, 2024 at 4:11 PM Thanks Andrea!

Hilda Greenhough September 18, 2024 at 8:28 PM It is a cute, endearing poem which is apparently consistent with the Halloween season. David Crandall September 18, 2024 at 9:31 PM Thanks Hilda, yes, but I in this retirement community there's no trick-or-treaters, unfortunately, so, no cute kids :-(

Karen Jones September 18, 2024 at 7:17 PM Loved these haiku poems! My favorite is the last one! Good luck in the contest! David Crandall September 18, 2024 at 7:27 PM Thanks Karen! Oops I forgot to run the syllable counter, and it looks like I need to patch it up a bit. I also like the last one best.
