The Invitation

Longer fall shadows
and a cool breeze that blows off
summers' last fervor,

invite September
into the dwindling days of
yet another year.

Hi Sue, Wonderful Haiku's. Right now - I am seeing all the suttle changes taking place - turning summer into autumn as I look out my window. These changes always evoke such powerful emotions in me. Thank you for your warm welcome on my return. yf4l Lainie

May I come too ? :) Beautiful Haiku, Sue. For me only the memories of a real Fall give me shivers of nostalgia here in California...Love, Iolanda
