Fields ripe for harvest
Cornucopia pressed full,
June memory fades

Autumn moon o'er fields
Moonbeams kiss sun ripened fruit,
Crisp chill in the air

Busy hands gather
The treasures from laden fields
Harvest Jubilee

OH Dennis; These Haikus' are superb indeed! You captured the essence of falls' harvest and made it all come alive, so much so, that I could smell the burning leaves and taste the pumpkin pie! "The King of Haiku Reigns"!
                                Love, Sis

Love these Dennis, I love the fall, and I could almost feel the chill that will be coming soon as I read these.  Bonnie

How wonderful the beauties of each season, which make us fade in our enjoyments of the former and desire the richness of present or coming. You have richly captured here the beauties of the coming season, and pictured them in a very desirable way!  Thank you, David

WOW- another day of life-and here among friends!

Hi Dennis,
  I think fall is my favorite season and what a grand job of capturing the elements.
Good writing. Love, Marcy

dennis, another joy to behold....esp liked the last stanza....

Busy hands gather
the harvests from laden fields
harvest jubilee

now shouldnt you write an opposing senryu about farmers facing droughts so as to contrast with this one?

Ellie, You are way to kind! Thanks!

Bonnie, each season has its charms,thanks for your reply.

David, thank you for your thoughtful observations, and kind words!

Marcy, Fall is not my favorite season, nor my least favorite.....It falls somewhere in the middle, yet its charm sings to this poet!

Kaile, Thank you for your thoughtful comments. About your suggestion, how about this:

Sun parched, barren fields
Reapers idle, seek new work
Farmers weep in debt

Thanks for your wonderful replies my friends!
