Late Night Haiku

Katie Frances Hartless
,

Faded leaves shriveled
to grey on a park hillside
foretell winter’s crunch.

Bow of a ghost ship.
Passengers with missing limbs
shiver the timbers.

Fall lies defeated.
Leaves play dead in the gutters
fearing winds of change.

    I like these: the desolation of the first, the eeriness of the second, the playfulness of the third —

      Thank you, John. I must admit my daughter helped with the first one. She said, look mommy, the leaves are white as snow.
