silhouettes of leaves
dancing with petals
on a whitewashed wall

about three feet high
a baby twister explodes
what I’ve raked all day

dry leaves dance
along the street

gone to a symposium
I missed the shadows
of dancing leaves

bled dry by branches
they do not willingly leave
what supported them

summer turning fall
pieces of unfinished scenes
scatter with dry leaves

wee little china 
of green sunlight and shadow
balanced on a branch

a man with a rake
battling the wind devils
for a pile of leaves

arc and tumble through the street
fetches me treasures

December Haiku

Golds, reds swarm outside
My warriors guard the windows
Not one leaf enters.

Laid Off

Leaves do not leave willingly.
They’re severed, booted, laid off
By branches who bled them dry.
Our helpless helpers scatter
With winds or lay chagrined
Blushing on a cold forest floor
For falling from their callings.
