Seasons Shift #Haiku

Foliage changes

Greens become orange and red

Seasons now shifting

Inspired by this week’s prompt from Haiku Horizons.

Winter Approaches #Tanka #OctPoWriMo

Today is the first day we have had that really feels fall-like in my neck of the woods; it’s cool, grey, and rainy. Soon the leaves will all be gone, bursts of color replaced by empty, dormant branches.

Fall color displayed

Trees painted mountains ablaze

Winter rain moves through

Winds cut foliage away

Grey landscape – winter draws near

Inspired by the weather and linked to the OctPoWriMo daily prompt.

Fall Flair #OctPoWriMo

We are halfway through the month now and I am, surprisingly, keeping up with little trouble. I can’t say that all of my posts were great, necessarily, but I’m writing regularly at least! Inspired by OctPoWriMo day 16 prompt blue.

Crisp, fresh smells the air,

Giving hint of the season new.

Look yonder, over there,

Against the sky of blue,

Foliage change shows fall flair.

Flowing Leaves #OctPoWriMo

For today’s prompt from OctPoWroMo – flowing – I decided to go with a Shadorma for a fall-like feel (which we are finally getting a taste of in my neck of the woods!).

Leaves flowing

Gracefully around

Wind blowing

Colors dance

Vivid tango exploding

Autumn’s arrival

Lark and Rush #Haiku

It’s been a while since I’ve participated in Ronovan’s weekly haiku challenge but I’m kind of on a roll – and laid up with my back again – so I wanted to get in this week.
