Does the Summer Cry (Tanka)

Does the Summer cry

Mourning for it’s own demise

As its spirit falls

Buried under Autumn’s reign

It awaits solstice rebirth

Cool Air (Haiku)

Cool air on warm skin

The visceral mood of fall

Summer has been slain

~

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

A Balmy Wind Blows – A Tanka

A balmy wind blows

Like a lovers gentle breath

On skin warm and moist

Greeting eminent summer

As a returning hero

Approach of Fall – Haiku

By D. R. DiFrancesco

**********************************

In forests once green

Shades of red and gold command

Ushering in fall.

**********************************

Frost, crystalline cold

Blankets flower’s tender leaves

Goodbye until spring.

**********************************

Cool air fills the lungs

Cleansing the body and soul

Giving us new life.
