The Friday Fling Celebrates Autumn Leaves in Haikus!
Friday Fling #202 October 19th 2012
Continuing this week a theme of autumn color, Michelle suggested we take a fling at writing Haikus about autumn leaves.
A Haiku is one of the easiest poems to write. There are only three lines and only seventeen syllables, divided into the three lines as 5-7-5. It is a format intended to be used to write about nature. A similar format, the Senryu, is reserved for other topics but is otherwise the same.
Might we suggest that you use this format to describe or discuss the physical features of a leaf, the overall impressions of color or other either quite specific aspects or very general ones relating to leaves.
This week the Friday Fling celebrates autumn leaves in Haikus!
Be sure to save time to read and comment floridly on your fellow Pals’ leafy literations. Then go enjoy this the prime leaf-peeping weekend in many moderate areas of the country, or if none of those is accessible, some other leafy location!

Fall Triptych
Swamp Maples
Scraggly maples provide
in pale warming sun
overachieving chromatic display
November Twilight
Leaves crackle underfoot
wind impishly provides animation
darkness soon comes
First Snow
Trees nearly bare
in chilly winds stand
accepting early snow

AN AUTUMN MOMENT
Delicate and bold,
leaves of autumnal splendor,
butterflies of fall.
Crimson and golden,
floating on a breath of breeze,
leaves rest on the ground.
