Deathly cold darkness
adorns Autumn’s fallen leaves
with Winter’s halo

With huge apologies to those who have been with me on this journey for a while, this is the third time I have posted Haiku 3 but I haven’t yet been able to better it, and it speaks to me each year at this time.
Regular readers will know I don’t like to post pieces unless I know the artist, but sometimes it simply isn’t possible. This really unusual piece in Leonard Lane is in a more traditional fine art style, but added to that it incorporates some leaves that have been sprayed with metallic paint which make up the subject’s headdress.
When I see pieces like this, I guess that they are by artists wanting to give some outdoor work a go. Leonard Lane is probably the perfect place for this on account of it being a quiet backwater full of graffiti and very few ‘enforcers’. An interesting piece.
Irresistible
a small wind-blown leaf tumbles
across the pavement
drawing the puppy away
from sniffing grubby lampposts.

Brightness penetrates
through the leafy canopy;
Summer here at last.

Summer’s memories
locked away and discarded;
face up to Winter.

Westonbirt Arboretum
leafy canopies
display their red, gold and green
magnificence, for our joy.
