November's brown is
The color of cozying,
Snug against the cold.

November 3, 2011

Halloween treats tease,
Taunt and cajole: just one more!
They "fun size" my ass.

October 31, 2011 II

Samhain/Halloween:
Witchy fun, spirits close by.
A night for magic.

Colors have muted:
Amber, russet, bronze; subtle,
Yet no less lovely.

October 25, 2011

Haikus ebb and flow.
Inspiration comes and goes.
Like Cleveland sunshine.

October 19, 2011

Grey, rainy morning
Matches my mood perfectly.
I need sunshine - BAD!

Amish hardware store:
wood stoves, apple peelers and
Pairs of suspenders.

October 10, 2011

Autumn, you hussy-
Flashing your vivid colors:
"Hey, sailor, look here!"

October 7, 2011

Morning sun on hills
Upholstered in orange,
Embroidered red.

Haikus come to me
At strange times. They write themselves.
I am eye and scribe.

October 3, 2011

Do not fight the cold.
Inhale. Bring the chill inward.
Taste the new season.

September 29, 2011

All of a sudden
Orange flashes all over,
Contrasts with the green.

September 27, 2011

Hot afternoon, like
Summer, but mums and asters
Tell another tale.

September 26, 2011

To-do list: daunting;
Will is strong, eyelids are weak.
Will wins; thanks, coffee!

September 23, 2011

Five-thirty wake up.
Night-dark, chilly and silent.
Wait; why am I up?

September 19, 2011

Sleepless nights for me.
My brain wrestles with worries,
Trying to find peace.

September 12, 2011

Inevitable.
Splash of red on the maple
And geese flying south.

September 6, 2011

My barometer,
The tree outside my window.
Branches shift and sway.

September 5, 2011

Imperceptibly,
A shift from green to golden
As summer exits.

August 30, 2011

A day spent writing
Seems like such a luxury.
Filled with gratitude.
