We’re deep into autumn now, and winter is set to appear on the horizon.
Here are haiku for late autumn, early winter, all year ’round.
autumn afternoon
he rides
the silences

autumn dark

sunrise calm
that gladness

contemplates Picasso

winter thaw
neighbor kids
mud-puddling

sullen gloom
or hush contemplative
choosing your winter
___________________
make the bed
take the step
praise the day
