Fall Wealth:  Five Faltering Haiku — written in a soporific daze.

©October 3rd, 2015

By Vijaya Sundaram

Tender the promise

Bulbs bearing spring in their roots

The gladness of growth.

 

Tulips, daffodils

Tight as little fists in bags

Raise a hue and a cry.

 

Biting roses, fierce

Fighting, thorny, so fragrant

I swoon, and get pricked.

 

Echinacea blooms

So pretty, so gay, but oh,

Deadly dull their names!

 

Tomorrow, go forth

Seek that herald of harvest:

Autumn’s fragrant breath.
