Anticipating Autumn

arid summer creek

anticipates a shower

tumbling autumn leaves

My response to Carpe Diem #1057 creek

Today we have another episode inspired by Jane Reichhold’s saijiki “A Dictionary of Haiku” and the prompt is creek, a modern kigo from the Summer Terrestrial section. The examples of haiku by Jane are:

summer creek
the fish in me getting
fish kisses

summer-hot hills
folding together
dry creek beds

without a boat
crossing the creek
pine shadow wind
