Brian Strand, is the creator of Footles. Each Footle has 2 syllables. I have used a haibun style of narrative before the footles (instead of haiku)

Autumn

Let us begin in the current season, Not the season of beginnings but of seasoning.

Leaves bold
Wise, old

Winter

Hither it comes, white or gray, falling, failing, smarting, incredibly enlightening.

Lets go
New show

Spring

New birds of millenials herded into facebook frames, those cribs engaged with each month’s age. I look on, remembering how this boomer’s recollection is in a box, more than one.

Face crib
Ad lib

Summer

Watch those new birdies fly. Life is fleeting. Parents hold onto their wings, sometimes clipping. Grandparents no longer open their wallets to show their pride, but with much more intensity and videos, besides, put the kids front and center for thumbs up, hearts, exclamations, tears, never anger.

Your 'Seasons-Footle Haibuns' is a delightful and innovative exploration of the changing seasons. The combination of haibun and footles creates a unique and engaging style. Your ability to capture the essence of each season through vivid imagery and concise language is impressive. I'm particularly drawn to how you use the footles to add a playful and humorous touch to the poems. Keep experimenting with different forms and pushing the boundaries of poetic expression.

Dear Kim, your haibun-style piece beautifully captures the essence of each season, both in nature and in human life. The footles add a rhythmic punctuation, distilling complex emotions into concise, powerful phrases. I very much enjoyed reading this poem. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
