Running on empty
Autumn is almost quite spent
Yet earth will revive

Colleen said: “Hello everyone. Happy October! My favorite month is finally here!! This week, choose your own syllabic form and a color to feature in your syllabic poem. Think about the different ways you can use color in a poem.”.
Well I love October too it’s my second most favourite month and Autumn is my favourite season. I have chosen to do an Autumn Tanka.
I smell grey Autumn.
My eyes see russet and gold
Pure white feathers fall
Mournful honk as geese depart.
Cold rustling in the north wind

Hocus Pocus
Leaves morph green to gold
And suddenly the leaves fall
Scritch, scratch can be heard
Hocus pocus magic spell
Russet Autumn is magic
Wordless Wednesday. Peak a Boo!

I have chosen to link my Décima to my Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Haiku Challenge from Monday. Tender and Who.
Summer lays a tender trap
Long days soon begin to shorten.
Soon another season portents
As rainstorms flash and thunder clap.
Soon hail upon our windows tap.
Flowers who once stood tall and proud
Now wilt and wain under grey cloud.
Sadly nothing lasts forever
So perfidious our weather
Summers soon wrapped in Autumn’s shroud.
THIS IS PART OF RONOVANWRITE’S WEEKLY DÉCIMA CHALLENGE.

Nature plays with us blurring lines.
Softening the edges she plays
Running down the seasons and days.
Moving through our lives changing times.
It’s madness no reason or rhymes.
Racking up to experience
The seasons change with decodence
It’s like they’re laughing tongue in cheek
At us lowly mortals so meek.
Nature’s law takes all presidence.

Thrown into the mix
Nature colours the blurred lines
The seasons play tricks.

Chelsea Owens has challenged us to have some fun. Rule one below.
Seasons are changing. The Theme is a funny haiku (or, more technically accurate, a senryu) about seasonal change. Spring, fall, summer, winter, autumn; whatever.
Days are getting short
Gaia’s tempers getting fraught
We just won’t be taught
All rules for this prompt can be found at Chelsea’s post.

Today or tonight 3rd Aug there is a full moon. Frank Tassone tells this full moon has many names, among them Sturgeon Moon. So as we transcend from Summer to Autumn Frank suggest: “This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to the sturgeon moon.”
I have chosen a Tanka .
Sturgeon Moon.
Summer’s passing I grieve
Yet soon her gifts we’ll receive
Silver reflections
Stone cast, sturgeon moon ripples
And so the world keeps turning.
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.
