‘Neath stained canopies
we yawn through darkening days
come winter we’ll sleep.
~ kat ~ 16 November 2015
(“Neath stained canopies we yawn through darkening days.” / “We yawn through darkening days, come winter we’ll sleep.”)
So…this week’s Haiku challenge prompts were “Cover” and “Color”. Last week I used the Thesaurus for my trio, but more as a dictionary to get ideas on various definitions of the prompt words. This week I did a full out Thesaurus flip, switching out words in my Haiku. Thank for the reminder and suggestion Ron. I like how this haiku turned out, while maintaining the
“color” of the prompt words, I was able to “cover” the topic using alternatives that sounded a bit more creative. For more Haiku on this prompt click HERE.

It’s rainy here today and it seems everyone is feeling the fall.

Blustery and cold here…but the blush is off the trees now. Mostly brown leaves left…or naked. Yep. Winter is coming. 🙂

I like your word image: ‘stained canopies’ and the whole feeling of seasonal drowsiness.
