Autumn Haikus
Haikus for Autumn
by
Dr. Darryl Winer
Summer’s green is gone.
Winter’s white is not yet here
Autumn’s color falls down
Rustling leaves the sound
Autumn’s color covers the ground
Joy for eyes and ears
Vivid leaves hold on tightly
Not yet ready to let go
Winter has plans though
Fat furry bunnies
Little bastards ate my grass
Rabbit stew sounds good
Gardens fade to brown
Behold the withering plants
No more tomatoes
Despair, grieve and wail
Carefully tended gardens
Have given their all
School bells ring their hail
The swimming pool’s just a dream
What it’s like in jail
Shorter days, cool nights
Summer’s heat a memory
Winter’s cold a bite
The cold menaces
Threatening, jeering, beware
From two months hence
Falling leaves, forsooth
Summer’s flowers bid adieu
Pine trees know the truth
Five score and ten days
Summer passes with a breeze
Fall holds back the freeze
A harsh horizon
Sun in the rear view mirror
Fall’s glory rising

Aren't the seasons backward where your are? Or are they backward here? Hmmm.

LOL Doc, you are right, we are upside down! But, you know, we have some funny maps and globes that show the world upside down and where AusLand is, in fact, centered =) But that's just for fun and to feed our outback ego =)
Hi Beyond-
Why am I not surprised to hear that? I imagine the entire universe revolves around AusLand, or at the very least the sun.

I did it all wrong, I go reading backwards the seasons (stoopid me!)
Now, - I'm a chilling Autumn wind... I have to go back to Spring to get warmed up again! =)
