signs of autumn

 equinox arrives
 as amber hues, crimson shades
 adorn maple trees

 oaks release acorns 
 which are strewn across the ground
  squirrels sweet treasure

 harvest moon aglow
 as pumpkins with impish grins
 carve out halloween

Oh my, what a breathtaking autumnal poem this is, dear Joseph. I absolutely love all these hues of fall which you've painted along with the cozy atmosphere where squirrels dance with acorns ~ simply beautiful! "as amber hues, crimson shades adorn maple trees", "harvest moon aglow as pumpkins with impish grins carve out halloween" Adore this, so gorgeously inked with incredible imagery... Wonderful chain of haiku! Glad to be reading your work after a long time.. Sending best wishes ~

All these 3-liners point to a beloved season which gifts many of us with inspiration, Joseph. I'd love to watch squirrels at work, but we have none in Malta. ~ Regards // paul
