Autumn in Daydreaming on the Porch

Autumn looked at
the shadow of a
still-summer oak tree
and said,
“It’s time.”

This is lovely. For me, there is always that one moment when I am cognizant the angle of the light has changed and I say the word "Fall."

I agree. In FL where people feel we don't have Autumn, we do. And it's seen first in the light.

Late afternoon light and it’s golden clarity are what make it fall for me. Our trees turn brown, but over the years I have found where to see some bright colors: reds, oranges and yellows, and this knowing where to find them makes the color all the more special.

There’s also a distinct clarity in the afternoon sunlight, especially.

Lovely, Oswego

Thank you! Unfortunately poetry is so on and off wih me, but I love to dash out haikus. They are a spontaneous and meaningful way of expressing some deep and mysterious truths. 🧐

For sure. I see quite a bit of it, some really good, too, on Allpoetry.com. And the guy who oversees the site writes almost all haiku.
