Fall is hidden and buried
when red leaves in the air are caught
in corner of my eye
Fall is open, exposed when
the leaves don't know how to fall around me anymore
rusting like an iris

Fall is open, exposed when

rusting like an iris
both ugly~ that won’t matter at all if we close our eyes

Poems for beloved and friends 12/1/2017
So I've missed a few days of poems, so to each of 3 I sent an acrostic poem of their names, and then to 2 I sent a Zappai (It's a Haiku except Haikus include seasons and more specific things), and to the other I sent a pun. :3 In hindsight it sounds kinda unfair. Anyway enjoy the more than usual!

Oh, the month of thy birth is here,
May it be filled with Kirstenmas cheer! ^_^
Beautiful
Enchantress
Longing for
Love
Everlasting
I love you always
You leave my heart in a daze
I long for your praise
before the sunrise
the fog has a moment of intimacy
with desert sage
empty yourself moon
come and go through the sky's mouth
leave no traces of light
the sun and the sky know your every secret but never tell

November has secrets
beneath the maple leaves
the forest mushrooms
