Haiku to you Thursday: “Blush”

Blush

A blush of fall red /

highlights the Maple tree’s edge. /

Soon embracing all.

“Light”

Light

The light sees nothing: /

no reflections, no shadows, /

nothing gone, no you.

“Obit”

Obit

Acorns on the road,

misshapen to the moment,

obit underfoot.

“Illusions”

Illusions

Illusions of time: /

tomorrow or the next life? /

Then the night takes me.

“Recedes”

Recedes

September sun shines /

ripening late tomatoes /

as the Earth recedes.

“Bee”

Bee

A bee stops by, /

maybe as confused as I. /

No bud here to try.

“Reflection”

Reflection

Images appear /

as I stare at the window. /

All are moment’s past /

carried through time by a light /

empty of your memory.

“Fall”

Fall

Stretched out and relaxed, /

cat lies across the railing, /

empty as the fall.

“Eyes”

Eyes

From the dark, eyes peer /

into the rising, warm day. /

Questions fall like leaves.

Others

Sartre once said /

Hell was other people. /

He was not alone.
