An Autumn's Chill

Leaves fall gently to the ground
Float in the chilled wind of late October
The squirrels nestle their acorns in the nests
And the bear gets ready his winter’s slumber
Gracious winds whisper to Mother Earth

It tells all her creatures to ready for the snows
That so gently fall to the ground
And cover the slopes and hills and fertile valleys
With a serene white that reflects all the grace of the land

It speaks to the farmer to harvest the late crops
And ready the feast that gathers the family
Relights the candle of generosity in the heart of man

That gentle breath of nature gives beauty
And tames all the souls to quaint calm

Tranquility embraces all that autumn embraces

Haiku of the Seasons

Seasons:
Forever changing
The gods' eternal romance
The cause of this wheel

Spring:
Sunny springtime days
Take caution in April rains
Love blooms with flowers

Summer:
Seek shade, water, fun
Dog days are hot and humid
Typhoons, be prepared

Autumn:
Cool temperatures
Leaves bonny: red, yellow, brown
Harvest time, give thanks

Winter:
Grand vista of snow
Cold air fogs the misty breath
Dress warm and live well

Seasons:
Forever changing
The gods' eternal romance
The cause of for the wheel
