Jen of Blog It Or Lose It has invited us to revisit haiku by an African-American author Richard Wright (1908-1960):
* * *
The chill autumn dusk
Grows colder as yellow lights
Come on in skyscrapers.
* * *
As the popcorn man
Is closing up his wagon,
Snow begins to fall.
* * *
Here are my haiku, inspired by the ones of Richard Wright:
* * *
instead of ice-cream truck
tinkling through the autumn fog
patio wind chimes
* * *
encased
in a frozen puddle
a little yellow leaf
* * *
late November
catching first snowflakes in yard
neighbour’ s husky
* * *
nice
much love…

I think that only the husky will really enjoy the weather this time of the year.

Beautiful — love the leaf encased in the puddle.

We have friends who have a husky — so I loved the third especially – the joy in finally having snow!
And lovely imagery in the first and second as well — very nice —

frozen puddle with a single leaf, definitely cold weather.
