Autumn, Aimless, Now Upon Us
Haiku with me please
Let words fall like autumn leaves
Cover me till spring
Slowly, then rushing
Comes the wind upgathering
My heart goes with it
My love is like a
Rivulet, overflowing
Cool and refreshing.
The clouds part. The moon
Glows briefly, then departs. I
Am left alone. Nothingness.
My head droops slowly
I doze off like somone old.
Then my teeth fall out.
Stars rain down like dust
Is the world ending tonight?
Then Monday arrives
I always thought that
Most people want to be kind.
I've been proven wrong.
Bones of silver birch
Awaiting spring and rebirth
Breathe the rare domed blue
The end is now nigh
With each breath we expel
Time is up, my friend.
