crisp air,
buried beneath fall leaves
spring waits with the turtle —
to catch up

Author Notes
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.Â
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.
EXAMPLE:
in the woodpile
the broken ax handle
