Haiku
fallen dry
leaves
touch my bare feet
sound so sweet
dewed meadow
a cow moves on
its footprints follow
dry
leaves fall
on the ground
without notice
autumn morning
so many pearls
on the spider’s web
the reeds wear
white capes
to greet the autumn
a leafless tree
a peacock
enlivens the tree
dead fallen
leave
danced with the wind
on the ground
dry
leaves in flame
green leaves shiver
distasteful touch
an
aged lady watches
yellow leaves shiver
awaiting fall
snowy peaks
I do breathe in
the divine sweetness
