Haiku writing is a perfect exercise for engaging with the environment, the season and just taking time to slow down and notice life happening around you.

I took a few quiet moments and reflected on my recent time outside in nature over the past couple of weeks and wrote a few Haikus.

Please do share with me anything you have noticed this autumn season and any Haiku’s you have may written. I would love to read them. Autumnal blessings to you all! 🍄 🍂 🍁

Old oak stands watchful,

acorns scatter by the bins —

autumn’s quiet gift.

🍁

Heron splits the dawn-

squawking, wings catch the river,

mist curls in its wake.

🍁

Brown shells, autumn’s gleam –

hands full of garden treasure,

lined up by the glass.

🍁

Small jaws gently work—

lichen cracks, earth-scented air-

moss and joy entwine.

Wet leaves cling to hands,

Cold soil swallows quiet dreams-

Spring sleeps underground.
