quiet rain falling it takes hours for the driveway to become a pond

tiny sparrows wake stirring early morning songs autumns clear blue sky #dailyhaikuprompt clear sky

leaves falling… all our future yesterdays #haiku #poetry

in white magnolia rain dirt roads turn darker than dark #senryu

the first snowfall of the year time is a slipstream I've been here before

sunlit fence~ each nail head a tiny sun #haiku

the sky’s silver scales tipping: as the moon rises, night falls #haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt

a kiss before I go to slumber and to snow #haiku #senryu #autumn #fall

incessant rainfall makes its way down the chimney an unwelcome wind #DailyHaikuPrompt #haiku #poetry

Untitled Fine flakes falling from a mottled gray sky. At the bottom of the hollow, two trains whistle the crossing at once, one high, one low.

autumn galaxies

#短歌 #tanka somewhere deep in the woods a woman sleeps in a cabin with what's left of the autumn moon

over the far ridge the moon rises to find the empty cabin #haiku #dailyhaikuprompt

against this darkness millions of tiny stars rain in windowlight

Dying holds, little romance; though many proclaim, they’d die for love. A noble death, rarely takes long; the full devotion, is to live with duty. Life is not, confined to its endpoints; the true heart guides, the path between. #sijo

The true war, is not between nations; though their conflicts, oft serve as battlefronts. In every heart, empires grapple; in campaigns older, than long-vanished Sumer. Our lone foe, dwells in the darkness of the soul; all worldly tyrants, but bear its flag. #sijo

& aching brood of afternoon lightens late & the youngwood rings tinny with voices of coaltit & goldcrest a line of starlings passes messages up & down itself black smoke issues behind the ridge & a diesel engine deepens sound & fades

Tea, and its halo: the steam's soft, lithe gathering - quiet, thoughtful tongues. #haiku #tea

bare feet- the floorboards know my weight by heart #haiku #poetry

All my Bluesky #poetry #micropoetry and #haiku from October 2025 - admittedly not as great a harvest as one might expect, but it's been a bit of a tough month. Thanks to you all as ever for the poetry community here! johnnorthwrites.blogspot.com/2025/11/poet...

everything changes .. in november

🍂 dry season .. my remix 🍂

November’s early darkness enfolds us. The smell of applewood fires and rot is a constant companion at twilight. We hurry between home and evensong, home and pub. Ghosts crowd the lanes, our folklore becomes filled with tales of cold teeth. Winter begins to growl. - #CLNolan

a rustle and blur behind the tree line at dusk autumn’s ghosts #haiku

I dream of you and wake up as a cloud #haiku #poetry

rusted swing set- the wind keeps trying childhood #haiku #poetry #writingcommunity

first snowfall restoring our innocence half-empty church #SenryuSunday #senryu #3lines #micropoetry

just past its peak still sweet as honey wine the sun shines through

A bright, silent, Sunday morning, hardly any traffic noise, but no birdsong either. Perhaps just November, or... no! I find binoculars and identify a visitor relaxing mid-migration . . . birds fall silent -- a falcon, peregrine, preens atop the pine #haibun

#俳句 #haiku #poet:Taimu #era:1700s #kigo:autumn #kigo:sandpiper ❖ Please feel welcome to cap the hokku to make a tan'renga, reply in haiku form, or use "cicada" as a #dailyhaikuprompt 🖤

lonely highway a billboard encourages me to "live fully" #inkMine

dark interrupted soft pop of distant fireworks under my eyelids

desert shadows sharing a silent language #vss365

hold on moon ~ high time the tide told its story #haiku #HaikuSaturday

Japanese photographer Miyoko Ihara documented the bond between her grandmother, Misao and her beloved cat Fukumaru #WomensArt #Autumn

in their honor the sound of bagpipes: migrating birds #HaikuChallenge #bagpipe #Haiku #micropoetry

north wind the orb weaver hangs by a thread #haiku #dailyhaikuprompt

comparing apples to apples

red leaves on the sea north wind steals me away 🍂 #DailyHaikuPrompt (north wind)

Morning ku persimmon season tree filled with squirrels #haiku #senyru

quiet snowfall~ warmth from the bakery follows me down the street #tanka

Spring in the Weald of Kent by the Kentish artist Rowland Hilder I love everything about it. The blossom on the trees, the long gone Elm trees, the horse and cart slowly moving through a hedgerow lined lane, the Oasts

#shahai conference pears - I hope they're discussing the plastics crisis

cherry blossom in the November sun mountain silence #haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt
