autumn – Page 6 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

A rainy night haiku

within the stillness
rain flowing across the roof
bringing me to dreams

clouds move
across the autumn sky
this dance of sunlight

a break in the rain
clouds dancing across the sky 
echoes of childhood

a day of sunlight 
in the throes of this autumn
flowers still awake

fallen leaves cleared
trees becoming more barren
autumn's progress

limbs mostly bare 
a few tenacious leaves cling
dawn's light creeps westward

‪sitting patiently ‬
‪on tendrils of autumn mist ‬
‪another fly’s doom ‬

silk architecture
abandoned upon my porch
a cold autumn wind

the grace of sunlight
within the cool autumn air
glimmers of beauty

through the autumn storms
the rose's tenacity
shines through today's sun

these tenacious leaves
their grip strong through wind and rain
while the air grows cold
