Autumn
Haiku and Other Poems
By
Joseph
Anthony
“What will people
think?” says the Autumn, “that’s a question I never ask.
This fear of change / can be
cured if one would but look / into
autumn’s eyes
Autumn’s crimson gold /
rivers within you and me / and so does the spring
I take autumn’s hand / I
think we might go dancing / into the blue sky
This dance of letting go /
this parading of change / these tears will not stop
Wishing means nothing / when
autumn pulls you away / into crimson streams
Dear Autumn Crickets /
you’re breaking my fragile heart / my prayers are with you
Warm apple cider / streaming
its way within me / filling me with Fall
Autumn leaves me drunk / its
deep red and golden wine / how can I not swoon?
The autumn whispers: / release
yourself into me / and find your way home
Who can blame me now? /
autumn in her golden dress / makes me want to dance
The truth within autumn’s
beauty: We must all let go into the wind.
