A Pleasant Morning
I open my front door to be greeted by the marvels of Mother Nature. No more subtle, autumn shines through some leaves while myrtle trees compete with them in their own way. A pleasant morning is adorned by the mackerel clouds, promising a positive change. Sun peeps through them, refusing to surrender. After a smoldering summer, we heave a sigh of relief and look forward to night parties in the backyard to honor the change of season.
time to revel as
remaining heat dissipates
Milky Way beckons.

Your autumn is very spectacular. Ours is very slow coming and doesn’t last very long.
Yes, this is best part of living in this part of the world!
And I think our long summer is the best part of living here. So funny!
Lol! 🤗
I think the relief from the heat is one of the many lovely characteristics of autumn, Balroop, and your poem captures that beautifully – especially the way it draws you out in the evenings under the stars. Lovely, my friend.
Thank you Diana, this is the best season to sit outside and watch the stars! Full moon adds another dimension to it.
🙂 It will be a warm night tonight for star gazing. ❤
Here it was foggy and breezy. 😊
Here too, but it will clear and be hot today.
Beautiful, Balroop. And my sincerest congratulations on your upcoming release. I know it will be a collection I’ll savor. ❤️
Thank you so much for your lovely wishes Gwen. 🥰
Balroop, just reading this relaxes me:
look forward to night parties in the backyard
I am glad this haibun relaxes you. Poetry does possess that power.

What a beautiful tanka prose, Balroop. I actually got to see the mackerel clouds this week. The next day we had a heck of a storm. Autumn’s almost here! 🩵
