And so October
Memory of summer fades
and chill settles in
And yet the promise
as greenery turns to gold
with treasure to find
And as winter looms
summer falls from all the trees
as we wrap up warm

Its autumn apex
takes the sun lower each day
as northwards I face
Summer ends but heat
remains in that strength daily
Save for lesser time
Shadows fall early
So now I must make the most
of a fading sun

The comfort of a
quiet morning in summer
August in England
Writing at first light
and then, as the sun rises
Chorus of the dawn
Welcomes in the day
as I do in readiness
with August sunshine

The joy of being
on holiday and at ease
Days pass slowly by
As relaxation
finds me in my element
Cock-a-hoop abounds
Merging together
the days pass without a care
And find me drifting

[Tri-haiku is a Jemverse thing; triplets of haiku strung together to a theme. The old English phrase ‘cock-a-hoop’ originates from sometime in the 14th century; it means to be ecstatically happy]

Pebble to water
Concentric rings dissipate
The circle of Life
Pebble vanishes
Concentric rings continue
The Circle of Life
Pebble thrown once more
Concentric rings multiply
The Circle of Life

This circular green
Grown, cut back, abundant now
as summer takes hold
This circular green
A comfort true and fragrant
These summer senses
This circular green
With me, part of me, in me
I am in summer

Now this summer sun
brings yellow to the fore
and I am shining
Now this summer sun
brings a warmth that radiates
and I am browning
Now this summer sun
brings a laughter to the fore
and I am grinning
