Over the world's edge,
The autumn sun, flinging gold.
It spatters the leaves.

overtones of season membered

Autumn's canvas waits
Paint in splattering of fall
Brush the stroke of time


Lovely, Ed.

love of power the world will know peace.

Summer falls away
Into a peaceful slumber.
Autumn claims gold crown.

winter's leafless tree
is larger than it appears

Autumn leaves fall as
Coverlet to blanket earth

stay with me summer
let me linger in your sun
bronze me on the beach

~*~

clouds carried the change
storm swept skies spoke of seasons
fall fell from heaven

~*~
Monarchs on the move
Indian Summer whispers
September moon calls

~*~

summer fades to fall
green gives way to amber's glow
nothing gold can stay

ack...see what you've started...now i will be talking in syllable counts all day.

know what you're listening to ... is me missing you."

Touched by Fall’s cool breeze
the leaves tremble sadly and blush
soothed by the sun’s kiss

Though the leaves are gray
and snow heaps in the fence rows,
still the sun rises.

Drifting to the ground around
Falling they astound~

With your silhouette

Hearing the swan's farewell call,

Weep not for the frost.
Death n'er looked more radiant
Concealed beginnings.

Locked beneath turned leaf.
Balance of the sky in tears.
Saving for next year.

Cherish the good memories of the past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. But above all... be kind to yourself today.

with autumn shades; her eyes green

Such wonderful and diverse haiku's.
I've enjoyed reading each and every one.

Leaves float softly down
Guided by the gusty wind
A colorful dance

Hear Blessings dropping their blossoms all around you.
