New Autumn Haiku

The following are by Madeleine Findlay



either way
the uneven days of Fall
are finely tuned






easy
in the autumn breeze
wildflowers






in a red beret
an old woman makes change --
u-pick apples






autumn woods --
the yellow shafted flicker
takes the light






left to stand
the winter long --
roof ladder








the following are by Tom D'Evelyn




the familiar smell
of my father’s mums—
fog on the river






crystalline
cold, earsplitting
crow






happiness-
the autumn river
is like a pond






autumn morning—
in different spots
that cormorant







night fog—
behind the cigarette
there must be a face








Labor Day—
all tied up, the tugs
rub each other







slow day—
over there, across the river,
patches of fog








the handrailing
down to the summer deck
slick with dew
