Whoops!

Sorry I didn't post yesterday; I was rather bogged down with other things. But I have poems! Hooray for the muse of Autumn!
..........
summer lightning
on the hills beyond.
silence here
..........
the same walk...
only the seasons
change
..........
adjacent math rooms.
three teachers;
one drone
..........
another year...
last year's underbrush
gone
..........
with wings,
the pen becomes
a dragonfly
..........
a knowing smile
from someone
I've never even seen
..........
on the sidewalk, half
of a rusted key
..........
summer afternoon
watering
the new yews
..........

No. 19

This entry is likely to be somewhat shorter than normal. There's a haibun on the brilliancy of the skies of late, but it's still percolating, and it doesn't do to rush these things...
..........
familiar faces
gone again.
new glasses
..........
arch of vines
overgrown
by itself
..........
one year later,
the same haiku
again
..........
in the wind,
the white wing
of a moth
..........
the tree's shadow
cast in leaves
..........
scattered business cards
on the sidewalk
after rain
..........

Post No. 18

Well, right on cue with the start of school, the creative juices started to flow. It seems that I only write when I have absolutely no time to do it... Hmmm.... Well, anyway, here's the most recent batch!
..........
oboe solo...
raven
in the red pine
..........
Sinfonia Antarctica...
passing cars
become waves
..........
in vain,
the cat
attacks the box
..........
September...
suddenly,
it's fall
..........
baking.
the fine line
between raw and black
..........
tree roots
make speed bumps
on the old bike trail
..........
