{Haiku | 俳句 }
Leaves catch midday sun
Burning red, beautiful death
Seasons turn - Autumn

Ant-lines on the highway
Marching along to the rhythm of our in-car entertainment AV systems

City air is infected, but air-con protected,
A film strip of concrete flickers fast past our windows
Slowly grey gives way, we're on our way to

And I snap a hundred pictures
so I can enjoy them year round on my desktop

{ C h o r u s }
Been to see the beautiful leaves
Makes us feel easy, they're part of our nature
Then it's back in the car, and back home, and upload to our desktops

{ 俳句 }

Falling leaf, beauty's so brief
First leaf falls - AUTUMN
