Park

Photo of large trees, their leaves turning colour and dropping, with a mirror way overhead in the far distance.

Walking by a park;
above, the motorway roars—
below, some leaves crunch.

Bird

Photo of autumn leaves on a branch, with the tree’s branches coming in from the left side of the photo.

Tiny, red, bird-like;
migrating for the winter:
leaves flying off trees.

Winter is coming

Photo of a suburban street lined with autumnal trees.

Autumn comes to town
flaunting her shiny red skirts;
toad stools seek a kiss.

Evolution

Photo of a large deciduous tree with a bthink layer of fallen leaves around it and a wooden bench beside the tree’s trunk.

Forest has fallen;
yesterday’s leaves, crunchy now,
cushion my journey.

Shaken

Photo of two deciduous trees, with most of their leaves fallen on the ground around them.

Autumn to winter—

grim reaper rattled the door,

deciduous trees.
