Autumn Welcome
It was autumn
As the princess walked through the forest
Some of the leaves had turned as red
As the colour of her hair
Other leaves had turned as orange
As the colour of one of her dress sleeves
As it blew gently in the breeze
In the shadow of a beckoning tree
Still other leaves had turned as gold
As the colour of her other dress sleeve
As it glistened in reflecting the golden rays of the sun
That shone through the opening in the forest
The top part of her dress was an amazing
And beautiful array of red, orange and gold
While her bottom skirt was as green
As the grass of the summer season now left behind
A blue jay had landed on her finger
With its colours of blue, black and white
Another bird with blue head, wings and tail
Plus orange breast and white bottom
Headed for a finger on her other hand
A bird with yellow breast
And head of white, black and dark green
Nestled on a dark branch
Of a small still green tree
On her right side
Behind her a bird flew
Yet to come into view
To reveal its colours
In the rays of the golden sun
That shone through the forest opening
It was autumn
And the princess was in the forest
With her friends the birds
Forming a collage to show
That in autumn
The earth wears a coat of many colours

Another September
Dawn of a new month
September
It was strange he had always thought of September
as an autumn month
Yet technically speaking the first 20 days of September
were usually considered officially summer
The last days of summer
But the leaves on the trees did not follow technicalities
For already they were starting to turn red and gold
The colours of autumn
heralding the advent of autumn
The city in which he lived
worshipped strange gods
cruel gods
perverted gods
Abomination and depravity
was how they marked September
He much prefered the leaves on the trees
falling to the ground
and being swept up by the winds
of a change of seasons
than any celebration of the darkness
within human hearts

A Reflection On Autumn
Autumn… when the trees put on their coats of many colours
Haiku About Autumn 🍂
Haiku About Autumn 🍂
That time when the trees
wear coats of many colours
a fall fashion show
Haiku About Autumn’s Fleeting Glory
The leaves on the trees
they turn to beautiful gold
only to fall down
