Autumn’s Sadness Exquisite hues fade. Blood-drained leaves portend death’s grip, Decrying winter. Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight? Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky: try to take over the world! |

The sea moves in tides A leaf flutters in farewell~ A bluebird flies south. Very nice one John...I enjoy these. Hugs & Smiles~Nancy Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile~ |

Limbs bend with the wind hiding from the cold gray rain. Watch the colors run.  I love haikus.Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Hi, EA. Thanks a bunch. I often spend far more time on a Haiku, than on a poem. Autumnal hugs in return! John xo Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight? |

Hi, Kira. Thanks for the kind/sad words! I actually had a counterpoint Haiku for his one, but I can't find it. Oh, well...! John Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight? |

I like your haikus. Would it make sense if I said I could feel them? <3 |

Hi, Just me again (Sandra)! I am so glad that you enjoyed my little construct. I worked hard to squeeze meaning out of every word. Thanks for reading! John xo Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight? |

Hi, INclan. A fireman stands Alone on a mountaintop, Surveying his life. Bravo to you for your bravery and your Haiku! Firefighting is definitely one of the nobler (and more dangerous) professions. As for your battles, I think that Mother Nature might help a bit, as she has been planning an assault on the fire, herself. Unfortunately, she is fighting fire with snow--and lots of it--at least that'e what the weatherman says. BRRRRRRR! Fight the good fight, God Bless you in your efforts and in your safety and, above all, keep writing. Thanks for your resopnse and your insight. John Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight? Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky: try to take over the world! |

Hi, Allysa (what a pretty name!) Thanks for your kindness. And, yes, I often "feel" (or more accurately for me, have a visceral reaction) to something that seems to have been written to speak to me. Thanks again. John xo Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight? |
