a crane having
one more frog --
a warm autumn

no more leaves 
to fall down -- 
this windy autumn

Between me
and this autumn rain
one leaking umbrella

 
a nervous bench --
an undelivered 
snowfall

 
a squirrel
participating 
this hectic autumn

 
yellowed leaves 
going to move ... 
a ceased snowfall

Fallen leaves - Zen

This morning this express train from Turku to Helsinki is ten minutes late, as usual.
During the last winter due to lot of snow. Now lot of fallen leaves on the rail making those slippery.
Checked my Email - waiting a message; none yet.
Surfing and found following:

Zen and the Art of Poetry: An Interview with Jane Hirshfield

                ten minutes late --
             a morning-train's zen 
                for the fallen leaves

      chilly night -- 
      so many happy leaves 
      landed safely

wherever I walk
the fallen leaves crowded
all the paths


Yellow leaves sailing
from the shore
to the open sea


These are from September 2010 Kukai
(Both none points...)

autumnal equinox
these lenghtened nights
also swelled


(Autumnal equinox was on 23rd September)

            migrated cranes --
            nightly sky so bright,
            so bright

This is one from the series I posted (migrating cranes) in my blog 22nd September. And September 23rd night was so bright!

      September field -- 
      from the forest 
      some fallen leaves

     Flying objects 
     and a rainy sky -- 
     my umbrella is ready 

      unknown sleeper 
      occupied the whole bench --
      a long autumn

lingering heat --
hems of pine cone 
widely open

Through morning sun
sudden thunder
squalls

This I wrote as a comment into Fred Masarani's Facebook today:
evening fog--- / thunder and lighting / and my neighbor sings

After a very warm summer we have now a warm autumn, raining a lot. Today heard a sudden noise (thunder!), and after that a heavy rainshower.

waning August moon --
longing for
many warm memories

august afternoon --
two or three ravens
flying behind the trees

I wrote this a comment for
magyar-haiku.blogspotSee the text also there.

When visited my mother-in-law I followed what was happening in the forests. Somewhere near us was some ravens. Great birds, I think. But they eat carcasses, I think. There are many bears, but the bears are eating all kind of berries etc? Some wolves near that area but not exactly so near, so what those ravens ate?

A four-liner

so many haiku
in this world --
August moon passed
safely
