Heavy Snow Haiku

Posted on January 24, 2013 by Lori Lipsky
Haiku 19

Heavy snow weighs down
Our backyard evergreen—
Lost dignity

On Maple Street

On Maple Street by Lori Lipsky

 

Early autumn winds robbed the trees of color

Hearty rains washed the leaves from eyesight

The unwelcomed gray left behind by the storm

Supplied a snug backdrop for essential winter rest.

Haiku #16: Paved With Gold

Posted on October 8, 2012 by Lori Lipsky

Haiku 16

Shades of autumn

Footpath glittered with gold

A hint of heaven

The Sunflower

Posted on September 6, 2012 by Lori Lipsky

The Sunflower

Tarry a while

for too soon
flowers
turn to seed, and
pressed, they fade
to oil

We beg you

linger longer,
though autumn

threatens to
carry you

away

Summer is fading fast. Are you ready to say goodbye?
