AUTUMN TOWN
Five Haiku
Written
on a stroll in the town of Lismore NSW Australia in late March
(first month of autumn in southern hemisphere). Photos on cheap phone
at same time- felt "snapshots" suited haiku better as they
are "snapshots" in words in some ways. On the other hand,
the virtue of the haiku is it tends to make you try to sense or
intuit a sense of the deeper side of the everyday moment while at the
same time (due to its small form) forcing you to choose your words
with great precision and no "waste".
AUTUMN
TOWN
Five
Haiku
ONE
Autumn town. Cars drive.
People walk. Low north cloud builds
Curves. Blue sky calm-shines.
TWO
On road by park, cars
Growl by. In autumn earth two
Palms grow silently.
THREE
Shopping mall. Tiled floor.
White ceiling. Lights. No windows.
No day. No season.
FOUR
Autumn garden low.
High frozen church forms pray to
Endless autumn sky.
FIVE
Back alley. On gray
Brick wall a small fern lifts leaves-
Drinks in autumn sun.
beautiful description of autum.
