Seasonal Haiku


1

Hurricane season---
waves rear up like wild horses,
the wind goes crazy.

2

Summer is ending.
The first few leaves turn yellow---
at night the air cools. 

3

The days grow shorter...
at night the stars seem brighter...
morning mist lingers.

4

Halloween tonight...
children hiding behind masks,
Ancient Ones watching.

5

Pumpkins with faces
carved to keep away evil,
fire in their eyes.

6

Early November...
sun sleeps on the forest floor
blanketed in leaves.
