4 autumn American Haiku / Jack Kerouac


Autumn Haiku

Cool sunny autumn day,
I’ll mow the lawn
one last time.


Autumn Wind

Bird bath thrashing
by itself —
Autumn wind.


Waiting Haiku

Waiting for the leaves
to fall —
There goes one!


Autumn Nite

Cloudy autumn nite
— cold water drips
in the sink.

  1. Always a pleasure to read some new (to me) Kerouac... outstnading.

  2. Jack Kerouac and his American Haiku brought this form to our hands, in my case about 1975, there's a freedom yet still a certain constraint in the American Haiku.
