Haiku Horizons Weekly Challenge Week 244 Prompt: Date
#OctPoWriMo 2018

Through the open door they dance
Inhibitions unlocked
Freely they fling
Flashes of color
Detached, moving with abandon
Come to rest at my feet
I gape at the beauty of the leaves of Fall
Come to entertain me
On this windy day.
Free Verse
#OctPoWriMo Day 24
Word Prompts: outside, unlocked, fling,
freely, gape

Like a fading leaf
I wonder as I age
And detach from life
On my aged tree
Just what the end will be
I am trusting and
Praying that God’s angels
Catch me when I fall
Asleep on this earth
And like the wind
Gently take me up
To my eternal home
Where I will live on
In the God’s presence
On His Tree of Life
Syllabic Verse
#OctPoWriMo Day 16

Once prominent
A vibrant crown of glory
Rustling and bustling
Sheltering new life on high
And offering shade
Now a colorful blanket
Looked down upon
Trampled without thought, deemed useless
Until wind carries them away
Choka

Sometimes
Change comes slowly
Gradually
Bit by bit
Other times it’s sudden
But it always comes
Shadorma

October appears
Yellow stars fall at her feet
Fall Fashion Show starts

Though summer left, the roses remain
Monoku
(The sturdy rose bush by my front door continues to bloom beautifully even in these Fall days .)

Leaves in Fall dress
Beauty in the golden years
Senior Prom Night
Haiku.
Enjoying Life!

Autumn arrives overnight
Unzipping her bag of colors
Trees brace for her creative touch
Unfazed, she sets to work painting
Masterpieces, that bow and fall
Neath her feet to create carpets of color
