Autumn Winter Haiku Cycle

by Bob Nickles

(1)
the year is crashing:

brilliant at first, then softly

down to the gutter.

(2)
pale moons drift along,
sullen faces like paintings
caught by early dusk.

 

Editor’s Note: This cycle was the winning selection in an annual haiku contest sponsored by the blog The Dassler Effect.  View other entries here.
