Grace @ Everyday Amazing - beside our house
autumn leaves
cover the ground - soft carpet
of afternoon sky
~0~0~
cool wind gathers
pine cones and green needles,
warm bed for winter
~0~0~
maple tree
shiver in dress of dying colors -
she dreams of tulips
Happy Weekend and Thanks for your visit ~
My heart literally skipped a beat I think:) when I saw this photo on my dash-board...and then your words; just simply perfect.
ReplyDeleteDreaming of tulips will certainly be beautiful !!!

ReplyDeleteooh, did you write and ode to my new blog background? :))
ReplyDeleteI often dream about tulips too, such elegant flowers.... but I do adore Autumn and Winter
The tulips will sure be showing after your verse, or at least be wanting to show, through the oncoming crappy snow

Beautiful photo, Grace. This season certainly inspires good poets. The maple tree leaves settle....and yes, there WILL be tulips next spring. The cycle of life!
ReplyDeleteMy yard looks just like this, i love The idea of trees dreaming! Somehow i always picture them enjoying shedding beautiful colors!
ReplyDeletemm I can see the inspiration just waiting alongside your house and through every window. I like the soft carpet, warm bed, dreams of tulips...you excel at Haiku. I am always lifted.
ReplyDeleteI just learned the prompt was "shroud"! I hope that death is just as much like entering bed and just as beautiful--but not before the winter of our lives.
DeleteI, too, am dreaming of tulips...love your dreamy haiku!
ReplyDeleteInstead of Poppies
we are not quite there yet....leaves are still changing...but i look forward to playing in them....dreaming trees....now that is cool...smiles...
ReplyDeleteNice set...especially enjoyed that last one :)
ReplyDeleteI love the photo and haiku. I miss the beauty of fall and its colors.
ReplyDeleteAll these haiku describe the miracles we see in Fall. The same kind of miracles happen with each seasonal change and subtle changes in between those. A lot of things to witness and think about. Very nice.
ReplyDeletePeace
What a wonderful series of haiku ... leaves of autumn covering Mother Earth's surface with a colorful shroud.
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favorite season, but often, I, too, dream of tulips!
ReplyDeleteYou have captured the essence of autumn beautifully!
ReplyDeleteLovely leaves of autumn; lovely haiku. I love autumn colors.
