It’s nippy in the west of Scotland – this may have influenced my haiku this week…
Pastel
Pastel cirrus trails –
Memories of summer, a
Vapour trail backwards.
Prowl
Prowling rattle of
Scabrous leaves’ quick skittering,
Of winter coming.

Excellent, Matthew – beautiful blue sky and then the brilliant golden leaves, it’s autumn and it’s perfect.
Couldn’t agree more !🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
must have missed this one; yes, photos and poems align perfectly ; I can almost hear the second haiku 🙂
Thanks John. I sometimes struggle for the alliterative link but these two came easy for me!
How gorgeous Matthew. Lovely Haiku for the lovely images. It’s autumn all around then. Nice. Enjoy.
Autumn all round indeed! 🙂 A lovely time of year.
