poem 

on a fall day 

this man buys

a mini panettone

in the supermarket

people fear that

war could reach them

most are too shy

to speak about it

a mini panettone

and a mug of coffee

go well together

let's hope

for the best

(AW, Nov 2024)

 

haiku 

November day

in a world of decline

the strong coffee

poem

early election

the crystal balls

are sold out

the number crunchers

are overworked

the magpies in their

black white plumage

know more than 

you may think

almost frost 

string lights tell about 

coming wonders

clouds weigh on roofs

some windows with

pile of leaves

now the magpie

has found something

leaf blower noise

and one who 

just won't finish

poem

autumn eve

celebrating with

strong Belgian beer

listening to 

a jazz drummer

born in Chicago 

one of nine children 

and his name

was Gene

(AW, Nov 2024)

 

haiku

exhaust fumes

no autumn wind

to blow them away

(AW, Nov 2024)

As if trees

were enemies.

The leaf blower man.

grey fall day

the whining of

the dog upstairs

tail lights 

slow into this 

autumn night

a row of houses

the fog softens 

the edges

poem

the magpies

do rule here

advisable

not to mess

with them

cos they know

you and yours

your front door

your back door 

your secrets

(AW, Nov 2024)
