Terri Glass Haiku Corner Flower
Haiku Corner

Autumn Haiku

Walking in the woods
scat, paw prints, hollowed out hives
but never the bear!

The rustling brush
quail scatter to open field
fooled by autumn wind.

          How cheery, a tiny home
          decorated with pumpkins
          and bright red flowers.

~Terri Glass
