#Haibun – 24 Seasons… #Poetry

Published on by balroop singh

Morning Walk

A windy morning, humming the song of autumn stretches its arms to kiss the dew on the grasses. Young trees waltz, but the old oak watches, blending his rhythms with the wind. The Myrtle tree sacrifices her pink and purple blossoms to the blustery gale. My favorite trees have already got the whiff of change. They wave at me with colorful branches. Chill rips through my spring jacket, licking at my skin, delving deeper into my bones.

Autumn chill cloaks me
the pleasure of walk weakens
I quicken my pace.

    1. When you are near the ocean, the weather changes much faster. Thank you Deb. 🤗 That broken heart emoji says it all about my latest poetry.

  6. Your poetry is just beautiful, Balroop. The emotion draws me right into your experience. And so exciting to see your header with its “coming soon” tease. Congrats.

    1. The trees are already showing the signs and the temperature has dropped to 72! But I like this season. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Robbie.

  9. I agree with many of your readers. Autumn is my favorite time of year, too. Your poem is lovely, Balroop. I will link it to Story Chat as a thank you for commenting.

  15. Hi Balroop. I’m not ready for fall yet – wahhhh! – but yes, we can feel it in the air and see the subtle changes. I ALWAYS feel your poetry. I look forward to reading your next book of poems, and I hope writing those poems helped your heart heal a bit, and not hurt quite so much. Writing does heal, but the loss is forever. ❤

    1. Thank you so much Pam for sharing your thoughts and understanding how writing could have helped me. Speaking to my muse has eased the pain a little.

  17. What a beautiful haibun, Balroop. We’re about 88 F. right now, no wind, and the humidity is making it feel like 91 F. I would love your cooler temperatures. 💗

  20. your haibun is delightful. I’m so happy to know the shift has made an appearance in your area. I cannot wait for it to arrive here too. Blessings. Thanks for sharing.

      1. You must be very very close. To the ocean.

        When you look perhaps you can see me waving at you from the other side of the great Pacific. Blessings

      3. Yes, let’s.
        I’m also in the habit of waving to cargo ships. Sending good vibes to everyone that way. My waves travel far and wide…
        So if you see a cargo ship send me a wave that way. 🤗 bless you my lovely. 🥰
