I comb my hair
into the wind
knowing every bird's nest
holds a bit of fairy tale
woven in the twigs.

You sometimes think
you want to disappear,
but all you really want
is to be found...........

Send me directions
to the vast eternity
a map of the universe
so I can find you
when we no longer exist.

a shivery moon
rustles the leaves
I stir the soup
#haikufeels #haiku
Today the wind arrived
in a rush of leaves
fleeing the trees
as though chased
by an October demon.

I read love poems
and totally sober
though drunk on words
I resist, I resist
calling you.

emptiness
on the main street
autumn vacation
I walk along the sidewalk
kickin' a pinecone

'It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.' - Sarah Addison Allen
I die a little bit every day
remembering the things
we didn't do
and now
we never will.

A red bird and a leaf
briefly race
tracing an invisible line
across the sky, too tired
the little leaf drops out.

A tiny red leaf
waved at me
with exuberance
then soundlessly
and swiftly flew away.
