Haiku 3
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.
1618. Leonard Lane (17)
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.

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

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

Autumn

Her calling card dropped
without any compassion
for lingering hope.

Lovers
In the Autumn shade
a young couple share kisses;
in oblivion.
