Blustery Breezes
Blustery breezes rustle the changing leaves:
as Nature braces for Winter's arrival.
And a shower of colors falls from the trees:
in homage to Spring, Autumn's closest rival.
Scurrying squirrels stash stolen nuts like thieves:
acorns are essential for their survival.
And alas, Summer's songbirds are all but gone,
along with the dewdrops that once graced my lawn.

The Blustery Month of October
The Blustery Month of October
Everywhere heard and seen, or so it seems,
Are leaves quivering on deciduous trees,
And those on the ground being rustled around,
In the blustery month of October.
Red and yellow leaves, sailing and flitting,
Are being carried on the wind like children playing,
Roundabout trees, hiding and being discovered,
In the blustery month of October.
Leaves once fresh

A Blustery Cold Day
At dawn, when I wake my world is a winter wonderland
blustery, gusty winds are blowing pure white snow into drifts
cold, chilling and icy is the air in this lifeless world beyond my window
down, deeper under my fuzzy blanket I sink
even my kitty does not take a peak, but
finally, we did get out of bed .

A Blustery Autumn Day
A Blustery Autumn Day
Mischievous bursts of autumn’s laughter
Pulls down the last of the season’s bright artistry
Carried away on blustery gusts,
Weaving a tapestry of autumn’s magic
In tiny whirlwinds of yellow, orange and umber –
Floating like capricious ghosts into hazy skies

Blustery Nights
A blustery cold wind is blowing
The smell of a wooded pallet burning in the winter’s dark
He peels back the jagged lid of tonight’s dinner
Ironically staring at a wall painting of a broken heart
The Lucky Liquor sign provides a beautiful light
Reflecting colors from the earlier days rain
He slowly shuffles to find a dry spot
While taking a

Blustery Winds-Abbreviated Crown Haikus-My Own Style-
Blustery winds blow outside
so cold.
Minus thirty-four wind chill
so cold.
Fingers freeze within seconds
so cold.
Trees covered in ice, shiver
so cold.
I can't wait for the Spring's warmth
so cold.

The Blustery Chill
The clouds have all turned red
And a distant chime rings out
Our words fall like stones to the ground
The blustery chill nips at our necks
Walking through our false ideals
Wondering what happens next
Carry us away to a better place someday
Let me remember the day we fell in love
Let me always feel this way
