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.

          April

          I see a flower
          that died in late November,
          reborn as a bud.

May

How like a tree
to strew its blossoms
on my flowerbed!

December

Entire city ablaze
with lights of every colour,
to stave off the black.
