A new day a new haiku
A final flourish
Before we fall to the ground
And go round again
Everything turns grey
All the colour drains away
Falling failing fade
One day all must fall
Released to the stoney ground
Finally we’re free
Without a winter
There would be no autumn leaves
To burn up my heart
Ash and chestnut stripped
And these rusty old oak leaves
Are all that remain
Turning leaves cling on
Yet the sun has slipped away
And rain has set in
Late autumn sunshine
Turns the hedgerow slowly brown
Falling fast and free
