Fall Friday 55: Yes, It's More Haiku For You!





A leafy couple

Together since they were buds

Hang on ‘til the end





A lone leaf skewered

A delayed autumn descent

A matter of time

 
 
 
Colors overhead

Tumultuously tumbling

To cover the grass





A moss-covered log

Grows a land-locked coral reef

Of oyster fungi











Balancing acorn?

Every time I walk the woods

I see miracles!





(The acorn was just sitting atop this small broken tree - I did not place it there)

  3. The last stanza was my favourite. There truly are miracles everywhere. The key is to take the time to look around and notice.

    Nice fall photos. :)

  5. No fall colors here. I wonder how far north I would have to drive to find some? Posts like these make me want to see them in person.

  20. Autumn in the woods is magical. I love the crunch of leaves underfoot as I look at the last reluctant participants hanging on, waiting for the fat lady to sing.

  21. Nice autumnal 55ve haiku collection! :)

  22. You have to be the king of haiku. I have never been any good at them but you are the master - all of them so perfect and the photographs so wonderfully illustrate them.

    And, yes, Halloween is not my favorite holiday, unless I'm inside at a party sipping a nice hot buttered rum made with my all time favorite, a golden Mt. Gay from Barbados.

    Well played. :)

  26. Everytime I visit Eric "Bubba" Alder's blog I feel miracles!

    Wonderful pix.

    I think Jazmeene, my squirrel friend most likely places that acorn there -- she loves funning with my blogging buddies.

    And guess what??

    YOU are top dog in my sidebar today. thanks for such a great visual to use for your button. Hope you like it!!
