Threads of Time
(A Haiku Sequence)
October pond
one red leaf floats
away
chilies roast
as the season turns
kaleidoscope scents
wrinkled face
maps life's journey
crinkled aspen gold
rabbit in the rose hips
may I share some berries
for tea?
fisherman silhouetted
in slant sun rays casting
over and over

Beautiful imagery... Terry
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, I really enjoyed the haiku, especially the lines "wrinkled face maps life's journey crinkled aspen gold." Love the way you described how our lives are captured in the wrinkles. Makes one feel better about aging. Excellent work! Best wishes, Carolyn Devonshire
