Thanks for this thread SpinDrift. I like it, it’s a bit different 👍

The days shorten now,
But speak not yet of Christmas.
This day is enough.

Misty morns greet us.
Harvest festival is nigh.
Daylight hours shorten.

The pale sky darkens
My wasted summer scorns me
I’ll travel again.

When I taught in primary, the children used to love writing haikus. They were written as:
Line 1: 5 beats

Line 2: 7 beats

Line 3: 5 beats

So: Leaves drift in silence,
cool light gathers on the lane,
autumn breath exhales.

Anyone fancy composing one?
