Sun Path – Tanka – September 22, 2015
on this autumn day
we walk towards the haze
along a sun path
ah – this seasonal contrast
denies cold days ahead

Carpe Diem Modern Times Haiku #5 Richard Wright’s “an autumn evening”
In this feature we give tribute to the great American haiku poet Richard Wright … for the occasion Chèvrefeuille created a beautiful haiga to honour today’s guest:
Autumn Leaves – Shadorma – September 22, 2015
on my walks
summer still reigns
in warm winds
leaves rustle
only in my fancy that
leaves have all turned red
summer laughs
at autumn’s coming
stealing time
for a while
autumn will soon win the day
painting the woods red

Indian Summer – Haiku/tanka – September 2, 2015
Indian summer
golden leaves and morning frost
hazel-nuts ripen
gathering chestnuts
readying winter fire-wood
warm autumn days
these sun warmed valleys
soon will be white with new snow
persimmon’s heavy
but still green with unripe fruit
summer lingers for a while
memories of fall
daddy burning dead leaves
mom making plum jam
I cover my new school books
with brown shopping bags and tape

Sunset thoughts – Morning Haiku and Waka – October 1, 2014
sunset and moon light
under the moon scythe
greeting the Indian summer
– the screech of an owl
indian summer –
sunset red like the grape vines
another leaf falls
hot afternoon
autumn sun sets in the west
chilling the valley
ah – drizzling rain
complaining blackbirds calling
wake-up the dawn
