Since I couldn't sleep last night, I decided to write some Haiku - seemed as productive as anything else at 3am. Now the sun has come up and I get to inflict them on the Cellar. HAH!

Note: a Haiku is a 17 syllable poem 4 lines long, and usually has some reference to nature or time of year.

Four Late Autunn Haiku

The crickets are still,
Silent in the earth,
Waiting.
Winter catches my hair.

Leaves hang, considering
Let go?
Or seize this last day?
An old woman watches.

No moths to the flame.
Hard frost.
I had my chance once,
But my wings were short.

Silence of the sky,
Shattered with stars.
Summer
Covers her green mouth.
