Bill said...: Thanks aurora, floots, and pat. Sort of a last look at summer as autumn, beautiful in its own way, takes over. And now it's winter.

One from the past:

I never saw it
until winter stripped the trees
the curve of the hill; 8:47 AM
polona said...: both beautiful, bill... the posted one and the one in the comments.
a fine transition between seasons.; 9:38 AM
Bill said...: Thank you, polona.; 8:26 PM
Tikkis said...: Well-balanced, I specially like the word 'far' in the middle! It makes your haiku a little bit harrowing?

The sail is somewhere far away. Only the sail, where are we, far, or near? Also the last line is descending, but the last word is 'light'!; 1:36 AM
Bill said...: A very sensitive reading, tikkis. Thanks.; 12:25 PM
