rainy autumn Friday

a flash of golden light
as the day nears it's end
takes some of the heft

from her grey cloud
of despondency


Please excuse the typo in the haiga! I didn't notice it until after posting.

downsizing
tee-shirts two sizes too small
what was I thinking?

November cold snap

an uninvited visitor
takes up residence

is it possible to ignore
this daddy's long legs
for the next six months

Haiku Sticky #524

This is a rare haiku for me--it is 5-7-5! I think it could be trimmed, but every word seems to be necessary in this one. Come back on Sunday when I'll have a spider cherita.

no longer able
to banish daddy long-legs
I too, feel the cold

lapsed, now atheist
guest at a church service

the words basically the same

new is an option
for receiving the Lord's Supper
gluten and alcohol free

a hint of dusty rose

the battered dresser
in the secondhand shop

--with a stuttering slide
the drawer closes on a
grandmother long gone

autumn pears

their shapes
unapologetically zaftig

it's hard not
to succumb to purchasing
more than one
