the morning's demands
I still find time to listen
to the morning rain

Early: A Haiku

in the early morn as the sun's slowly climbing above smoke-filled skies
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features “Early”, which I discovered via Woolly Muses’ response. The accompanying photo is one I took this morning. It doesn’t do justice to the red skies this morning. Quite beautiful, even though they’re caused by the smoke.
Smokey Haze: A Haiku

summer receding
longing for this smokey haze
to fade in the rain
Autumn Rose

as the petals fall
upon the reddening leaves
life returns earthwards
Early: A Haiku

dawn's grace arising dancing across the petals while the crows calling
Here’s my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge. Today’s word is “early”. Early speaks to me of dawn, of new beginnings, of opportunities.
Autumn Smoke

through the autumn smoke
memories of cool fall air
and longing for rain
Autumn Flowers

walking in sunlight
warmth remains in autumn's air
the rains will soon come
Autumn Rose

sunlight drifting
downwards upon my skin
yet the leaves redden
Afternoon Walk

the joys of sunlight
graceful clouds within blueness
seagulls cry calming
