a tide of leaves
curling and cresting
along the footpath

leaves scrapping along
etching their tiny verses
as they’re carried off
2582
news says raking leaves
bad for the environment
shoveling snow’s next

like the cereal ad
leaves crunch snap, crackle, pop
autumn underfoot
1888
sounding like rainfall
its only leaves in the wind
just having a laugh
1610🍂
silhouettes of leaves
dancing with petals
on a whitewashed wall

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

green! green!
countless shades of green
the leaves return
928
tiny footfalls
dry leaves dance
along the street
727
gone to a symposium
I missed the shadows
of dancing leaves
430
rippling through treetops
shards of inconstant color
another autumn
393
bled dry by branches
they do not willingly leave
what supported them
381
summer turning fall
pieces of unfinished scenes
scatter with dry leaves
290
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

galaxies 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.
