Another week has gone by. The Thursday Poets Rally week 57 has already begun. So another weeks challenge to write a few haiku for this Poets Rally.
Sometimes I don't have enough inspiration to write my haiku, but the last days there was an overwhelming inspiration by reading Haiku Vol. 3 by R.H.Blyth. In our haiku world we call the Haiku series (4 volumes) of Blyth "the Bible of haiku". Blyth has a great feeling with haiku of the ancient masters such as Matsuo Basho and Kobayashi Issa. Vol. 3 of this series is titled "summer-autumn". I love both seasons, but My heart begans beating a little bit harder when it's autumn. So I have chosen a few haiku with autumn as theme.

| autumn tranquility |
the colourful leaves
Ah! what a sight
mysterious moon
behind thin clouds
leaves falling
tears fall
this autumn day
has gone by
such sadness
without the full moon

Sincerely,
Lovely. I love fall but do not love the snow and cold and ice that follows all too soon.
