haiku

trees turn gold 

and do not deserve

to be ignored

(AW, Oct 2026)

 

poem

in this old film 

women walk fast

and wear big hats

some with feathers

it was a windless 

day then

at least for hats 

a safe one

(AW, Oct 2026)

 

haiku

trimming the nails

the autumn light

just right 

(AW, Oct 2026)

 

poem

for today's crisis

only solutions from 

a bygone era

well should we protest

would curses work

or should we prefer

to drink filter coffee

and to watch this jay

in the tall cedar

its blue high now 

(AW, Sept 2026)

 

haiku

this autumn sun

the summer sun

is her cousin

(AW, Sept 2026)

 

poem

in autumn

lumberjack shirts

and men sit down

as if they were

truly 

lumberjacks

(AW, Sept 2026)

 

haiku

outfit routine

needs a thought

in early autumn

(AW, Sept 2026)
