Frank J. Tassone Haikai Challenge #47 – Autumn Near (aki chikashi)

Write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to autumn near (aki chikashi).

Autumn’s heart is near
a new season calls to us
comes a great harvest

rhythm of falling leaves dance
their lyrics singing cooling tones

colors of brilliance
awaken sunshine within
season’s glory shines

dawning upon us fresh joy
warmth, family, breaking bread

friends get together
celebrating abundance
a harvest reborn

let us always give thanks for
nature’s love shown through Autumn
