Towards The Autumn
chestnut spikes
streching towards the autumn sun
days grow shorter
The Taste
rustling maple leaves
in my morning coffee
the taste of autumn

mist over rice paddy
hiding scars on her delicate palms

Carpe Diem Modern Times Haiku *Richard Wright’s “an autumn evening”*
This time on Carpe Diem Modern Times Haiku we are introduced to haiku, written by a haiku poet Richard Wright (1908-1960):
* * *
no birds are flying;
the tree leaves are still as stone, –
an autumn evening
* * *
I tried not to wander too far from the same mood and spirit, writing mine:
* * *
heavy raindrops
running down the dark window pane
a small yellow leaf
* * *
Carpe Diem Special *Autumn “light of the full moon”*
Our inspiration on Carpe Diem Special this week is a beautiful haiku, written by Chèvrefeuille – our Carpe Diem Haiku Kai host:
* * *
light of the full moon
shines through colored leaves
at last … autumn
* * *
I tried not to wander too far from the same mood and spirit while writing mine:
* * *
he watches me
nude bathing in the fool moon
a shudder…autumn breeze
* * *
Black & White Sunday: Withered
Oh, would that my mind could let fall its dead ideas, as the tree does its withered leaves… /Andre Gide/

Carpe Diem Ghost Writer *”Richard Wright on Autumn” by Jen of Blog It Or Lose It*
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
* * *
