Poem: Two Autumns

Ghosts hang in branches,
bonfire incense upon
bleak autumn altars.

Autumn sheds excess--
leaves, thin fur, warmth; climbs toward
shuddering winter.

    Ooh, haiku. I love it, especially the imagery in the first stanza.

      Haiku are my lazy go-to poems. Because they are so "easy" so to speak, it is a real challenge to make one worth something.

    Yeah, the imagery in the first stanza is AMAZING. The second stanza is good as well, especially the first line. I Love the first line.

      This is me using my memory, of course, as none of this happens in central Florida. :p

    No! How awesome is that?

    I love graphic tees. <3 (Does that make me a hipster?)
