Terri Glass Haiku Corner Flower
Haiku Corner

Autumn Haiku

Cold overcast morning
the neighborhood, no one dares
to get out of bed.

Overhead
thrum of rubber bands—
wings of Canada geese.

          Autumn forest
          scat, paw prints, hollowed out hives
          but never the bear!

~Terri Glass
