Autumn

Autumn

Mid-life crisis time
colourful, happy, depressed:
hot and cold by turns

                                          *

Already?
I don’t believe it.
But | must.

Sedum Spectabilis Autumnalis

photos taken yesterday, for Haiku Heights Challenge day 5

    It would always be surprising… autumn :)

  2. “Already?”

    That probably what I’ll say when Death comes calling!

    Your hands have been quite busy. Creating wonderful art to see…and lovely photos. Thanks for the haiku. I have yet to visit haiku heights, – while I count syllables, I don’t think I follow too much else in regards to the ‘rules’ of haiku. But I have been having fun condensing facts from some interesting articles like this one from the Kosher Samurai about Foreign Language Syndrome:

    renga:

    voice, vibrations made
    through the direction of thought
    undone by damage

    unknown disease, direction
    changes, creating accents

    ears now hear foreign
    accent syndrome unrehearsed
    spoken on life’s stage

    Yes, my feelings exactly. And your photos are wonderful. I especially like the peeking pumpkin.

    No, it absolutely isn’t, Viv, but I appreciate the Haiku.

    Indian summer in the north east of England at the moment and we certainly need it after the summer we have had. Looking forward to blackberry and apple crumbles and jam – won’t be long now. Sally

  10. Gorgeous set of haiku … nice pictures too. Autumn … known for it’s depressions … but to me Autumn is a joy … love all those colors and the weather of this season. Nicely done Viv.

  11. I like the image but I always thought autumn was about ageing gracefully.

I love it when you leave a Reply
