shivers in autumn

cascading gold smothers green

barely a blade seen

God made a quilt out of leaves...and it is keeping the grass warm.

Nice one Chris...I just went outside to search for a blade....but we have so many trees here that the grass is totally covered...and the quilt goes snap, crackle, pop as I walk through it.
relate to this one, big time.

I was also in the garden. A sight to behold. A whole carpet of small gold leaves. It looked even better because it was dry under foot. A quilt from God to keep the grass warm, what aobely though. Thank you Jacob.

A quilt to keep the grass warm?
Here the wind blows all the leaves into one place
At the end of the patio where the ground slopes away; we built a wall (safety for small children.
Also it made a built up stand from a Barbee (Flower pots on most of the time ; and a shelter for taller trees
It is a collecting place for wind blow leaves. and. a home for wintering slugs & snails

The leaves fall in Autumn to be vigilant through the Winter and wake again as new buds with renewed energy... poetically speaking... Your haiku is penned with the splendor of cool
nights and sugar kisses stored in leaves 🍁 that produce the colors of red and gold and lavender.

[Chris Shaw]

Dear Pat. Sending you fond regards for a happy Wednesday. Thank you for your lovely review. Sugar kisses in leaves is delightful. Take care of you and yours.

Another winter is upon us and we brace ourselves for the snuffing out of all that greenery around us. We have little option but to find joy in winter's white and silver. How helpless we are Ms.Chris....season after season...

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you AJ, yes we prepare for another winter and beautiful it can be too, though I do prefer the spring season. That without doubt is my favourite. Your visit most welcome and appreciated.

I can feel autumn's chill dear Chris. The relentless march of seasons. Smothering all things tender and verdant. Beautiful haiku!

[Chris Shaw]

Dear Ditzy fav cat, lovely to get a visit from you. Yes, the autumn mornings are feeling chilly and it won't be long before a frost sets in. The leaf fall coated in hoar frost always looks wonderful. Pleased you liked my Haiku. Plenty of treats for you, leaving them here.................

Thanks for the treats dear Chris!

I saw the snow covering tree stumps and they looked like tables covered with white tablecloth! It was amazing!

You've seen my garden covered in a carpet of leaves of all colours then! Indeed the grass is barely growing and the shedding continues apace. Sweep one day, looks the same the next. Nice haiku capturing the colour.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you John. Such a pretty time of year. The leaf fall in our garden looked spectacular yesterday. Today, it has all been raked up.
