My contributions to the Poetry Train this week are two haiku. I came up with these images and liked them but couldn't figure out what to do with them, and then realized their perfect for haiku. I still might make them part of longer poems, and I'll post those also, if I do, but for now...Enjoy! Oh, if you haven't been by lately I posted some news at the beginning of the post just below this, if you're interested. :)
The first I wrote after getting caught by a bridge and sat watching sailboats motoring south on the intracoastal waterway for the winter (the waterway in question is one that was surveyed by George Washington).

Stately migration
Down Washington’s waterway
Winter time comes soon.
Turning Leaves
Summertime’s canvas
Painted with autumn’s palette
Touched by winter’s brush.

I like the second one too. You can develop both into longer poems.

Both are great!
I liked the sailing one best, especially the second line:
'Stately migration'
Lovely gliding rhythm to that one.
Those are really striking, Ann. The second one, also, seemed stronger to me. Maybe because it's a bit more universal?
Thanks everybody for stopping by, I'm glad you liked my haiku. Hope you all have a great week. :)
I really like the second one!! So much descrive what fall is in Canada!
I like both!
I can grasp an image with the first right away (I picture a sailboat on serene waters right away!)The second reminds me of a splash of colors - orange and brown.
These are lovely!
I can't pick a favorite, I like both, Ann. Great visuals! ;)
