AUTUMN Trio of HIKU

a September preview snowberries sunbathing.. a late... peepshow shades of shadowing fall sun ,highlights the pampas grass- rose hips ripening neath the chestnut tree flakes of green cover this scene- autumn blankets me NOTE: why hiku ? HAIKU the ' phonetical&cultural original 'in Japanese' whereas HIKU is the English language version(including translations)with similar economy of words without "telling all" thereby to ' show ' (conforming to the key to true imagist poetry),&to avoid 'as'&'to' & the use of past tense verbs (often without verbs,adverbs,adjectives )A verse freed from syllabic constraint within its triplicity of format& inherently enigmatic & still with a caesura and surprise ending
