Ten Senryu about the prompt, autumnal equinox, without using the exact words:

∞ Clock hands align

Nature hits snooze button

Darkness lingers

∞ Celestial seesaw

Teeters toward longer nights

Stars rub sleepy eyes

∞ Sun's overtime ends

Moon clocks in for extra shifts

Cosmic union rules

∞ Pumpkin spice invades

As chlorophyll packs its bags

Yearly hostile takeover

∞ Day and night arm-wrestle

To a draw, then night cheats

Winter referee nods

∞ Squirrels hoard acorns

While humans hoard sweaters

Who's really smarter?

∞ Trees flash their medals

Before shedding modesty

Nature's brief burlesque

∞ Farmer's tan fades

Replaced by Netflix pallor

Screen light harvested

∞ Scarves emerge from exile

Noses turn to runny taps

Fall's sniffly symphony

∞ Sandals sulk in closets

As boots march triumphantly

Seasonal coup d'état​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Love this one 🌸🩷🌸

Amber hues tilt low

Whispers bend through empty skies

Time breathes a soft hush.
