Fall and lyrics
The Minnesotan Medievalist revealed his roots:
Sparkling diamonds,
Shimmer on the green grass,
Frosty fall morning.
And Joan Plowright looked ahead:
Breath spooks the air
Hovering like ghosts about
My mouth. I pull my
Wrap tighter to keep
Bluster captive till bitter
End. Hot tea holds my hand.
We laugh at death in
Costumes so he won't recognize
Us. Make him into
Pumpkin shame of clown.
Still when it is dark,he deigns
Boo us scared silly.
While Geoffrey and Sally returned to banter!
Sparkling diamonds,
Shimmer on the green grass,
Frosty fall morning.
And Joan Plowright looked ahead:
Breath spooks the air
Hovering like ghosts about
My mouth. I pull my
Wrap tighter to keep
Bluster captive till bitter
End. Hot tea holds my hand.
We laugh at death in
Costumes so he won't recognize
Us. Make him into
Pumpkin shame of clown.
Still when it is dark,he deigns
Boo us scared silly.
While Geoffrey and Sally returned to banter!

Thought this was a very simple haiku, but in a sense captured both the spirit of haiku and a typical fall morning in Minnesota. Thanks for this great opportunity to write poetry.
