Notes About The Poem

Autumn Haiki Contest Sponsored by Tania Kitching 09/22/24

signs of autumn


scampering squirrels
forage for little acorns
swallows all fly south

wizened leaves falling
pirouetting down to earth
log burner blazes 

carpet of dead leaves
beautifies the forest floor
biting winds and rain
