Autumn haiku



frosted maples
blush in the heat
silent sunrise

                                                                  October rain—
                                                                  the boulevard paved
                                                                  in red and gold

                                                                                                                                    deep night
                                                                                                                                    the barred owl talks
                                                                                                                                    to the moon
