Catch Me Now I’m Falling – Fallen Leaves and Seed Pod
The “Autumn, Then Winter” Haiku Contest is Up – Some celebratory haiku of my own
We have fifteen haiku from 10 contestants for this contest. It is not too hard work to put on such contest, but even for a small one like this, it is tricky to keep track of email entries, so if I have forgotten your entry please let me know right away and I will get it up.
I thought about sneaking an entry of my own in, but I suspect that the judges, knowing me rather well, may have sniffed that out quite quickly. So here are my introductory haiku on the contest theme. If you wish to comment on these, do so here. If you wish to comment on the contestants’ haiku, please do so on the contest page. Enjoy!
the leaves translucent
stream glory upon glory;
trees like church windowsbranches like leaden
window frames, bereft of glass,
gilt by warm creche light

“Should I survey the ground below” – New Leaf and Old – Leaves in Autumn
No metaphors here, political or otherwise. I just loved the way the light was pouring through that tender green leaf.

When Even the Dregs are Beautiful – Autumn Leaves and Rose Petals
I took this several weeks ago and it is the shot of the leaves and petals which had either been blown or swept into the corner of some steps on campus. And there were a few days when there were even more petals strewn amidst the leaves and I didn’t have my camera.
