how must it feel
to dying leaves after
falling from above, never
more to rustle, warmed
by soft sunny breezes
who see only the brown
lonely boughs of a tree
they loved, longing for
beautiful green cover…
but for some wild
night of wind, they are
left to wither alone

magnetic poetry (nature kit)
cool autumn breezes
fading leaves drift, falling
gently letting go

For Haiku Horizons Challenge, prompt word, fall.
my garden heaves her
last bit of sweetness
as the cool beauty of
death whispers to her
urging her to sleep…
to dream of spring
I am not dazzled by
broken gods and
fool-hearty men who
must be surrounded by
all-embracing prisoners
of fear to feel whole
keep trusting in
the goodness of
others even if it is
hard to see….I
believe it’s always
there, waiting to care
every path is thick
with followers but
wanderers leave fresh
tracks through the wild

For TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge based on this painting by Delaunay at The Museum of Modern Art in Paris, and the words earth and whirlwind.
whirlwinds and tempests
chaos rages, earth in flux
nature can’t be tamed
~kat
gone is the sweetness
frosted blossoms are fading
air dense with death’s balm

For Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge, prompt words: sweet and scent (balm).
