It’s so sad
when summer’s flowers
start to die;
stems straggle,
leaves turn brown and petals drop–
I could almost cry.

Thirty-one,
“Feels more like forty”.
Forecast says:
Around 5:00,
stormy weather will arrive–
kill summer at last.

Starlings have
come to strip my tree;
it sounds like
a jungle
in my back garden; waxwings
have missed out this year.

Syllabification

Shadorma’s a form
I enjoy more and more, still
I adore haiku.

Swinging fruit,
blackening on choke-
cherry stems;
waxwing blitz
(Cannot forget the bzzt, bzzt!)
in the wind, I think.
