Haiku Friday: The Beauty of Fall


 Here in Minnesota, things are almost indescribably beautiful right now. The trees are at their peak, with reds and gold everywhere. 

Today I am riding my bike to work, and will hear the sound that I have loved since I was five years old: leaves, crisp and crunchy under my tires. I will go along the edge of Lake Harriet and see the far side painted with the colors of fall.

There is a lot to love, even in this time when we spend way too much time indoors. 

So let's haiku about what is around us right now, wherever it is that you find yourself. Fall is the one season that is nice almost everywhere, so there is beauty around you.

Here, I will go first:

A content pumpkin
Sits on my stoop all this month
Knowing my bright joy.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!


Comments:
I know where I got that book!

Bookstore on The Hill
Weekly visit with my Dad
Happy Memories.
 
No fall in Texas,
The summer goes on and on,
90F today.

(Last line should read “ninety F today”)
 
I had to ride way
out in the country to find
color, but it's there.
 
Fall in Virginia
once started in September
Leaves are all still green
 
Colors, reflective
shimmering upon water;
A lost Ibis waits
