It's been a long week...

you know you've spent
too much time staring at screens
when real life looks flat

#haiku #micropoetry

drifting lazily
the hawk circles familiar ground
endless rumination

#haiku #micropoetry

november night's chill
carries the distant train horn's blast
across the silent town

Some parts of the country are at peak foliage, but the more northerly parts are a bit past it now.

red and gold to russet
fall's fading fanfare echoes
down the northbound road

afternoon temptation:
resisting the siren call
of "just a short" sleep

It's funny to see a disorganized flock of geese need a few moments to sort themselves out after takeoff.

apathetic night
a dog barks down the alley
but gets no response

When I got this at a big box garden center, I didn't expect it to last this long...

final autumn flare
this long-lasting salvia
an unexpected gift

#haiku

a long day ended
gradually, the clockwork
slows enough to sleep

#haiku

fireplace smoke wafts in
blending with the candle's scent
my own tiny hearth

Slightly belated #introductions . I've kept my Twitter account (same name) laser focused on #haiku & #micropoetry to both stay sane & under trolls' radar. May branch out a bit here to other interests, including #cooking , #gardening , #mushrooms (wild & gourmet), and other various & sundry.

glistening snail trail
my own meanderings
leave no blazes

#haiku

cocoon woven in
the spectral lace of a leaf
death, life intertwined
