September 22 - Autumnal Equinox
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
That ‘farmer’s tan’ haiku! Love 😍
My daddy was a redneck farmer. ❤️
🍁🧡🤎🍁
Love, love: Day and night arm-wrestle / To a draw, then night cheats 👏
Thank you 🙏
Fantastic, love the hostile pumpkin spice takeover 😂
"Nature's brief burlesque" is amazing! Haha... 😎
Thank you!
Light no fires tonight,
let no blood in sacrifice -
just day equals night
____
The calendar calls
for days when moderation
overrules death's drama
Oh, I love this! A night of balance, very cool take🖤
Goodbye to my friends
Hummingbirds that light my skies
Migration time now
Good one! This past week the hummingbirds were tussling at the feeder. I think they were mostly males gearing up to move farther south.
Oh, so beautiful! We have them year-round in California. It’s crazy to see them out fighting each other over the feeder in the middle of massive rainstorms🤪 Truly amazing creatures🖤
Yes, I live in the East where we lose the tiny dancers every fall!
I do miss the life they bring to the backyard. Usually they are gone by now, but the heat has delayed their departure by a few days, to my delight!
Opposing the ides
Comes the death of green - orange
and yellow arise
I love this! I really like the slant rhyme in lines one and three🖤
Love this one 🌸🩷🌸
Amber hues tilt low
Whispers bend through empty skies
Time breathes a soft hush.
Beautiful imagery!
Thank you, Caro! 🍁🧡🍁
So beautiful and peaceful 🖤
That's really lovely. It perfectly captures that sense of nature getting ready to rest... 😎
Hemispheres equal night and day.
Leaves fall one s way in dark.
Another sphere arrive buds in light
So good! I love the reminder that it’s also spring elsewhere on the planet 🖤
Darkness swallows day
Moonlight bleeds on fallen leaves
As time slips through cracks
So ethereal, I love it!
This feels unequal
Mid-tllt from Cancer’s tropics
To cold Capricorn
Ah, false equality? That never happens🙃
Time to sharpen fangs,
A feast draws near, summer's gone,
And long nights are here... 😎
Ooo 🔥 Let’s do this!
Haha! 😎👍
The start and the end
Balanced for one single day
The beast grins darkly
Ooo so lovely and chilling🖤
