Crisp Air

by Gypsy Blue Rose

crisp air, 

buried beneath fall leaves

     spring waits with the turtle —

to catch up

 





The Eastern Box Turtle buries itself in leaves during autumn for hibernation. They find a safe spot, bury themselves in a pile of leaves, and enter a state of torpor until spring arrives. 

Contemporary Haiku is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. It resonates on a deeper level, leaving the reader enlightened and making an insightful connection. The most common literary adaptation in English of haiku looks something like this: one to four lines, no strict syllable count but brief. These poems too utilize a dash before the satori. Images need not be taken from nature, though they may be and often are. Seasonality is optional, though often featured. Is okay to use poetic devices.
