poem

swirling leaves

egomaniacs

are constantly

changing topics

on the internet

and they do this

with intention

they are the wind

they decide

the direction

you are a leave

(AW, Nov 2025)

 

haiku

Sunday in autumn

the grey clouds sit

where they sit

poem

bold statements

by politicians

the word future

is used too often

and they lie of course

a walk over

autumn leaves

soon blown away

the belief in buds

almost madness

but we are trained

to see signs of 

beginnings

even small ones

(AW, Nov 2025)

poem

my feet age with me

they still want

to use stairs

that's amazing

they have memories

about steps in 

London Paris Rome

and they really deserve

these new slippers

(AW, Nov 2025)

 

haiku

drinking a beer

to salute the 

beaver moon

haiku

mild November

strong coffee

poppy seed pastries

poem

early November

good morning Alma

written on a wall

of the railway underpass

the words are there

since decades

a demolition is planned

for the near future

perhaps Alma is still alive

good wishes for her

and the writer
