September’s Promise: Two Haiku

September tells me
As its green  leaves turn to gold
Spring will come again

 

The greens of Summer
Give way to Autumn’s bright golds
Promising the Spring

Stay and drink the wine

Culled from the fruits of autumn

Nature’s piquant gift

A whisper is heard

In the silence of the wood

The world is not still

As autumn leaves gently fall

Carpeting the forest floor

Autumn mists appear

Clutching and shrouding our fields

Prompting life to sleep
