Thinking of Autumn



Night crickets
recall August's chorus,
 adagio.


Heated days melt
to golden afternoons,
bubbling soup.



 The first day,
pumpkin colored school buses
ooze children.
A treasure box
of woolen sweaters and shawls
set free.
Fallen leaves
summer's last refrain
now compost.

For today's challenge at HAIKU HEIGHTS Autumn is the topic.

    Lovely! I like "August's chorus and pumpkin colored school buses" very much. Afternoons turning golden are some of of my most favorite things about autumn.

    I liked them all, but loved the last one.
    The temporal progression/process of Fallen leaves to compost.
    A tiny detail, we always miss about those fallen leaves.
