indian summer
Leaves rain from the trees,
Apple tree boughs bend
empty church
fresh sawdust
a frigid daybreak
snow covered front lawns
dawn run
with rhythm of wind

Wind blowing briskly
Howling at the moon
The moon on the lake
the halloween jack-o-lantern
warm to the touch

excerpt:
"So, what characterizes a haiku today? This is not an easy question to
answer.
Certainly, the majority of haiku currently written in English do not
conform
to the 5-7-5 syllable pattern typical in Japanese, nor do they always
concern
nature topics; however, all of these divergences are matters of ongoing
debate
within the haiku community. I will attempt to touch on some of those issues
here, but even more I will try to give you a sense of the 'haiku aesthetic'
which unifies the form across time, language, and culture.
Haiku is more than a form of poetry; it is a way of seeing the world. Each
haiku captures a moment of experience; an instant when the ordinary
suddenly
reveals its inner nature and makes us take a second look at the event, at
human nature, at life. It can be as elevated as the ringing of a temple
bell,
or as simple as sunlight catching a bit of silverware on your table; as
isolated
as a mountain top, or as crowded as a subway car; revelling in beauty or
acknowledging the ugly. What unifies these moments is the way they make us
pause and take notice, the way we are still recalling them hours later, the
feeling of having had a momentary insight transcending the ordinary, or a
glimpse into the very essence of ordinariness itself."
