Relaxed, warm, friendly autumn is with us here in Central Ohio. Pleasant afternoons, nicely chill nights great for sleeping soundly. Winter’s in the wings, soon to follow. Here’s a selection of autumn and winter haiku.

autumn afternoon

he rides

the silences

sullen gloom

choosing your winter

winter dawn

quarreling crows

irritate the silence

in barren winter

give yourself

the great gift of love
