AUTUMN HAIKU HERDING

–

Fall plantings are in,

Cabbages, hardy mums bloom…

Autumn colors glow!

–

Warm days–cooler nights

Ushering those southward flights…

Noisily birds fly.

–

Harvest time each year,

Dresses and skirts lower hems…

Less yield for the men!

–

Snow birds fly or drive,

Commuting to stay alive…

Rubber tires fly!

–

Children play in leaves,

Hot chocolate sales go up…

Deserted beaches!

–

Eggs and produce come

Veggies come from foreign lands…

Locally–now!
