    ARTS: Haiku prompt: Autumn/spring

    Hi all

    Feel free to post your own haiku on the theme of autumn or spring depending on which hemisphere you are in!

    Please try and keep your images crisp, clear and simple.

    Here is one from Mitsu Suzuki to get you started:

    Autumn wind
    nothing but graffiti
    playground


    Masoaka Shiki:

    Singing somewhere
    back of the shoe closet
    a katydid


    And me:

    trying
    each jumper in turn
    early autumn

    One from me:

    Windy swing park
    Dads on phones
    on a rare day off

    And one from Fay Aoyagi:

    overslept
    I blame the quietness
    of rain

    Gassho,

    Neil

      Autumn breath
      ruffles the fraying crest
      sunday visit

        Old blossoms falling.
        Brand new blossoms are also
        old falling blossoms.

        -- Ryokan

        New blossoms blooming.
        Old blossoms, though they fade, fall --
        are new blossoms too.

        -- me

          Maybe a free form one from me...

          Winds blow golden
          Cranes back
          Ah!

            leaf after leaf
            falling into the river
            oh! a new grey hair

              Haiku prompt: Autumn/spring

              Naked branches
              rain dripping from faded colors
              autumn hillside

                Tumbling leaves
                humming autumn tunes
                leaf blower

                  this old coat
                  smells of wood smoke
                  autumn again

                      I'm enjoying reading these. Thank you all. Inspiration to write my own is alluding me at the moment as anxiety around completing my Rakusu has a grip.

                        Maple and Oak leaves,
