It's late November and the chill is on. Lady Autumn sheds her leaves and prepares for warmer apparel. The scattered leaves fall here and there. Thanksgiving decor and dinner menus are in the preparation phase while grocery stores are busy with shoppers and turkey talk. This year my little grandgirls are coming to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving. We will have a wonderful time gathering together
In the meantime, I am sharing haikus with the hashtag #haikuforhealing. Thank you Mary Lee Hahn for offering this poetry project. What better time to share our thoughts via poetry and photos! (The above image is from Pixabay. Isn't it beautiful?)

Can you spot the heart-shaped leaf below?
brisk wind spins through trees
leaves bare their heart to nature

Be blessed and thankful at all times. I am grateful that I finally have time to write this blog post and send it to Poetry Friday's host, Ruth Hersey at There is no such thing as a God-forsaken town. Ruth is in East Africa working with her husband. Besides being interested in birds with a tremendous knowledge of different species, she teaches English. Her Spiritual Journey blog, My world, your world, our world, is interesting since she has been around this world of ours.
Leaves really do bare their hearts to the wind...what a great line. I hope you are well and able to host Thanksgiving--surrounded by loved ones. I'm headed to upstate NY and will enjoy some brisk breezes up there!
ReplyDeleteYou are preparing to bid farewell to the mellow season, Carol and you have done it in richly poetic way with these haiku. The leaves of autumn are a rich source for poetic thoughts for poets all around the world.
ReplyDeleteIt is me. Alan, Carol. I was too hasty in clicking!
DeleteI love these small healing haiku and the invitation to write more and be present to nature. I am trying hard to focus on gratitude. And I am grateful for friends like you. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI love that heart-shaped leaf and all your haiku. Writing daily haiku or small poems of gratitude helps shift the lens in a positive direction. Reading yours does the same. Thanks and wishing you a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteI love that heart-shaped leaf, Carol! I'm also saying goodbye to fall on my blog today. Thank you for your gentle poems. It is soothing just to read them.
ReplyDeleteWe said good-bye to about 30 bags of leaves this weekend, and that's just the front yard. :) Thanks for your haiku, Carol!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely haiku (and your autumn wreath is gorgeous). Happy to hear your grand girls will be joining you for Thanksgiving. :)
ReplyDeleteSo much to be thankful for this year, this season -- in your gorgeous photos and haiku. I see how great a source of healing they are. What a joy to focus that love and energy on your grands this holiday! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCarol, Thanks for sharing your beautiful haiku! I am so happy that your grandchildren will be spending Thanksgiving with you this year. I'm at my Dad's house and we'll be having Thanksgiving here together with my sister and her husband and our middle son (25) Matt. It's the first time we've had the holiday with my Dad in more than 25 years. This is a reason to be grateful!
