Haiku   Misty night seeps down Melancholic September Averse sky pain for the sun     Green moss on wet wall The northwesterly blows rain Normal October     Parasols seek shelter Courageous are umbrellas Joust November storms     Festive shop windows Preen and vie for customers Long after closing time     Fire-works on night sky Cannot vie with shooting stars Quarter past twelve     The vanishing act Summer leaves the verandah Autumn light enters     Deepening shadows Fallen leaves on the terrace Time for reflections     A summer has gone The breeze has a chill within Will we meet next year?
