Morning fusillade
Acorns pelting from the trees
Pings and thuds galore
Haiku: Autumn Cacophony

Haiku: Weather Amnesia
Tarp covering pool
Lounge chairs stored for the winter
Declare summer’s end
Yet hard to believe
Squirrels still gathering acorns
Fall sunshine beams warmth
Not a bad trade-off
Bright colored leaves and white snow
Will come in due time
Haiku: Brief Run
Summer lingered still
Not yet ready to depart
Autumn knocked on door
Robed in finery
Fiery red, soft apricot
Jack Frost-designed leaves
Wind sent them a-twirl
Beauty carpets patio
Winter’s on the way
Haiku: Wall Flowers
Summer music stilled
Fragrant breezes play no more
Patio stones cold
People gone inside
Chairs wait for another year
Stacked against the fence
Company’s Gone Home
Summer came inside today
Windows opened wide
Cooling breeze a welcome guest
Heat wave passed with holiday
Hugged relatives and said goodbye
Quiet is settling in
Squirrel is lounging on a branch
Hidden by green oak tree leaves
Cardinal heard but bird not seen
Wind chimes and lovely laughter sounds
Music charming to my ears
Today is calm and bright
Sparkling blue of swimming pool
Invitation to dive in
Turn onto my back and float
Let cares drift away
Old cliché but useful here
Too lazy to create.
Haiku: Forecasting the Weather
Sunny and warmer
Patio transitioning
Holiday lights gone
No bulbs blink nightly
No snowman, sleigh or reindeer
Live in the ivy
March will soon arrive
With its annual snow storm
On St. Paddy’s Day
Not out of the woods
Winter weather still lingers
Aye, but we can dream
Haiku: Revelation
Two flats abandoned
In the patio garden
Sad and neglected
Then one bright morning
Garden peppered with red blooms
Flats nowhere in sight
Plant fairy at work
All is ready for summer
With wave of trowel.
