She knows what it means

To be left out in the cold

Still, she blossoms warmth

~

Morgan of BooknVolume, has issued a haiku challenge. Write a haiku a day for one year!  I am committing to this challenge for the next YEAR! That’s right, 365 days of Haiku!! 🙂

As Morgan said in her post, a year is a Major commitment, but I’ve never been known to pass up a challenge. I look forward to sharing the seasons ahead, and gratefully thank Morgan for stirring the embers of my soul and igniting the fire in my heart…

Should you like to participate in the challenge, simply link back to Morgan’s first post found HERE

Skeletons do scare

With sinister, leering eyes

When October ends

Under October’s Sun

sun-1717412_960_720
It carries the voices

Of souls cast aside

Spirits, now fallen

In a timely suicide

We watch as they spiral

Then die, one by one

Detached and free falling

Under October’s sun

Yet, they fear not their destiny

As they whirl and they soar

Swept away, once again

With the wind’s mighty roar

Shifting Seasons

September days, now in the past

Autumn changes, growing fast

Green beginning its downward flight

Shifting the seasons, colorful light

Brings about orange, russet and gold

Caught in October breezes, cold

Falling from trees, their final descent

Making way for new life, the old, now spent

Enter November, the end coming near

Leaves, in a spiral, drop, like a tear

Blending into the earth, far below

When autumn turns, into winter’s first snow

The Chill of October

#poetry, autumn, chill, dorindaduclos.com, free verse, leaves, Night Owl Poetry, October, poems, Restless, The Chill of October, wind

Restless, as my mind wanders

And my body cannot find the way

Like the leaf so desperately clinging

To that one last moment

Until the wind, relentless in its fury

Captures me, in a single gust

Cascading, swirling, slowly

Teasing the veins of my limbs

With the chill of October
