HaikuToday 25sep10

Three lines and seventeen syllables will never make this haiku…

go outside silence...
hold your breath and look around...
let autumn find you...

¥ from the Gates of Arlington ¥

At 9am I can feel the last 90 degree day until next May coming at me.
Through a break in the clouds over Shenandoah, if I watch the other side through the sky, tilt my head and squint just so...
I can see autumn falling right at me. Like a painted portrait looks into the eyes of anyone who stares, autumn fall-falls on the feathered, furred, and fallible alike - just not at the same time.
For my friends under the Southern Cross, in New Zealand, Australia, Ceylon and beyond, other season have come and gone.
A sudoku calendar can't keep Autumn in it's place. The seasons slip and slide.

go outside silence...
hold your breath and look around...
let autumn find you
