Winter winds whistling
Autumn's last stance-
a graceful genuflection.
#haikuchallenge #HaikuSaturday
Genuflect
seasonal shift
climate change
apposite
Nature reclaims what it intends
sending life's events
to where memories flow.
Slowly evanescing
time spins
memories of you
Past lives on in
family stories, recipes, my nose-
as treasured memories.
one voice sings a death aria
Opposite of
wokeness would be
Apposite
spring in my steps
alacrity of purpose
wind at my back
toddler's alacrity
something new
everyday
petunias thrive
with cold persistence
periwinkle's winter wink
elemental fragrance Saguaro Cactus alluring
Inner autumn calls,
embracing a
seasonal change.
The wind howls
for rest,
as light narrows.
Counterfeit death nears
God’s grace is
revealed.
With the last harvest
winter comes,
the weary souls find rest.
