Almost ‘Fall-ing’ – a haiku trio

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry

When I think of the new season upon us, I envision warm reds, oranges, and yellows, and vibrant shades of pink. I can smell cinnamon baking in the oven, and imagine sipping a pumpkin spice latte for a morning treat and hot apple cider as an evening winds down. Maybe an occasional indulgence in a delicious apple crisp, and of course, some cozying up under soft blankets.
This is my favorite season, so won’t you join me as we enjoy a little fall-ing? 🍂🍎🍁

These photos are from years past, as summer is stubborn and won’t let the trees transform just yet, but I’m ready for the change now…

1.

crisp mornings join late
summer afternoons to greet
fall’s cozy prelude

2.

leaves change into their
raspberry autumn wardrobe
attire for the dance

3.

new season creates
inundation in its wake
melodious crunch

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have a favorite? 1, 2, or 3? Or maybe all three? 😁
Thanks for swinging by, and I wish you a peaceful Sunday. 🩷

  1. I do love all 3 Lauren. They certainly evoke that autumnal feeling. Fall is such a beautiful season, though you’re right, it’s still summer here too. Only had a few cool nights here and there. I’m enjoying the sunshine however, as the garden is thriving. It will be autumn soon enough and I’m already enjoying my pumpkin spice lattes. 😆

    1. Thanks so much for your wonderful words, Maggie! I’m glad you enjoyed these! I can’t wait for the colors to change, but at least I can post about them. 🙂 And their attire is gorgeous! I’m glad you loved that image. Happy Sunday, dear friend! xoxoxoxoxo 🧡🍂🧡🍂🧡

      1. Thanks, but I’m just learning. I only used my iphone until my class in January – May. My new class started this past week. I’m really impressed with the five other people in the class. Amazing!

  17. We call this yellow time- as Birch is our most prominent Deciduous- and the leaves just all turn yellow. And it has already snowed less than two hours away from here- so I better just stop talking now! hehehehe

  18. We are on the opposite end of the world to you so spring is on the horizon here. Yes your fall in the US is a beautiful time of the year but your winters are much too cold for me. I was born in the tropics and spent most of my working years in Asia in the warmer parts. I can remember going through an intense snow storm around Yellowstone Park on a visit and was alarmed to see the snow piling up on the road in front of me so was relieved when I eventually reached my intended destination Mosco Idaho without being snowed in. 🙂

  19. Fall is definitely my favorite time of year. October is my favorite month of the year. 🙂 I love all three poems, but if I had to pick, I’d choose #2. I love the visual and the feeling that brings! Thanks for sharing!

  24. Hello Lauren, how nice! Can’t wait for Fall to start as it’s one of my favorite’s season. Love your photos and poems – summer is reluctant to leave here too but it’s just a matter of weeks for sure.

    Thank you for the inspiration and may you have a joyful week 🧡🧡

    1. Thanks for your beautiful words, Marie! Ironically, it’s going to heat up here for a few days. But I’m sure in a few weeks, we’ll begin to see the transformation. I’m so glad you enjoyed this post. Love and hugs, my friend 🧡🍂🍁

    I cannot pick a fave, as each Haiku is fabulous.

  33. Ah, fall is almost here! We even had some cool days to suggest its appearance. Soon the ‘melodious crunch’ will be under our feet. Peggy and I are planning on disappearing into New England for October so we can celebrate the glorious colors. Thanks for sharing you lovely poems with us. Lauren.

    1. I can’t wait, Curt, but summer is a bit stubborn. 🙂 Your New England trip sounds magical – also on our bucket list! Thanks for your wonderful comment, and I’m glad you enjoyed these haiku. Have a great time next month! 🍁
