haiku

As everyone seems to be writing haiku these days, I will add some:

Children back in school,
Smell of late summer roses,
Withering gardens.


Outside the window
Branches bereft of leaves point
To what’s glorious.


I am an athlete
Taking every chance to kick
Acorns and gum balls.


Don't worry, neighbors
No Joneses to keep up with here--
Let the leaves blow!


In the gallery,
a Korean sonata--
familiar and new


The fall colors are
Extraordinary now.
In the morning, look!


English offices—
Persian rugs, old-fashioned lamps
Highly civilized


The second violinist’s
Hair is in her face
She’s mad with music


Hey, you silly moth—
I’ve got the screen door open.
Why don’t you escape?
