November’s berry red
White roses adorn the bush
Late Autumn low sun
A beautiful colour mix
Harvenger of bleak winter.

This week, Frank Tassone asks us to , write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that states or alludes to either Fall foliage or goose (kari)–or both, if you feel so inclined!
I chose a Tanka.

My ears hear Autumn
Mournful honk of a lone goose
Crisp crushing of leaves
I feel the woosh of feathers
Cold rustling in the north wind
This is part of Frank Tassone’s Haikai Challenge.

After the days heat
Breeze refreshes tired souls
The smell of Autumn
Temperatures are dropping
Happy relief for us all

An
Untouched
Trail of leaves
Unsullied, fresh
Mask slippery mud
Newly formed after rain
***
We trudge along happily
Autumn colours brightening our
Lives as Ruby and I walk along
Kicking up red and gold leaves as we go.

Autumn
Plip
Plop plip
Rain drops drip
Around my ears
Autumn Annie me
Frost around my fingers
Moonlight shimmers on my toes
Sweet smelling Autumn rain glitters
Giving rusty golden leaves a shine.
My season, now, beautiful Autumn tide.

An Autumn Cinqku.

This month Kat Myrman is writing a Cinqku a day. I read her first two on loved them so I am going to try one now.
“A cinqku must always have 5 lines and a perfect seventeen-syllable count. The lines typically follow a 2,3,4,6,2 format. There is no title requirement on the second line. As for syntax and diction styles, it follows the free Tanka style originally. There are no metric requirements for a cinqku poem. Additionally, the final line must contain a cinquain or kireji turn for emphasis.
Leaves fall
Days grow short
Food is gathered
The nights grow longer
Ready for renewal
Harvest.
Autumn in the air.

Autumn in the air.
There are blackberries in the hedgerow
And a chill is in the morning air
The red berries are starting to show
Seems Summer’s left without a care.
Conkers in their protective green spiky coats.
Laying expectantly on the ground
The days are getting shorter
And leaves are falling all around
Autumn is a coming I feel it on the air
Summer’s preparing to fold up her deck chair.
