A spider
blown out of proportion—
autumn chill.

Here's a haiku that came to me the other day out walking on the town bike path.

Don't panic!
It's only our old friend
praying mantis

It's as if spring never happened. I was flipping through my poetry notebook and noticed that I had only winter and summer haiku this year. Where did the spring go? Maybe you can figure it out. Here are a couple of winter haiku:

Icicles–
all the colors
of the day.

Every second
a new sense of awe–
falling snow.

And a couple of summer haiku:

Stay away
from my bicycle,
grasshopper.

My only friend
in the Milky Way,
Big Dipper.
