autumn

cars sound the alarm
autumn delivers it's storm
night time is shattered

window faces watch
our world of broken branches
wheelie-bins gone rogue

when tomorrow comes
boys will collect their conkers
grown men their shovels

Autumn clean up can be fun in the crisp air with laughter with friends. I like the description in these words.

Perfect haiku Martin, your last one took me back, chucking stones and bits of wood up at the conker trees trying to bring them down, every year at school was the conker season, now banned on health and safety grounds. Happy days, long gone now. Good luck in the contest. Tom

Many thanks Tom. It was a bit nostalgic really & sadly children don't play conkers anymore. Health & safety or not though, I must admit to throwing stones & branches for conkers with the grand-kids only the other week!!! Take care :)
