Yes. It's humorous in a dark kind of way! I lied the accompanying picture which is so expressive and goes with the haiku. Brilliant job! Thanks for sharing!

Haha nice poem, it is so true. We all feel this way as the darkness starts creeping in waaaaay too soon. You portrayed that in this piece in a pretty fun way. Thanks for sharing!

This is clever and funny. I enjoyed your notes, explaining where the cartoon comes from because I have read her before but didn't know the background. A most enjoyable and funny haiku which has taught me something, Giddy

Wonderful! Fantastic! So very clever and witty. I thought about the Autumn Equinox today. Thanks for adding to my private little celebration. Lovely work.

Wry humour here which is the best approach to SAD..The satori is clever with its play on words. Time to turn up our inner light when the season turns.

Nice take on the club challenge since the poem correlates well with the quirky illustration.

Stay safe healthy and blessed

Julia

The only thing I don't like about winter are the shorter days. But they don't last long, thank goodness. I agree with Crabby Road. It hardly seems worthwhile to get up. Especially with all the lockdowns. hahahahaha

While this is actually a senryu because MOOD is not really a concrete thing but is related to feelings, I enjoyed your posting and selected artwork a lot. I also agree entirely with the message. The dwindling hours of daylight affect a lot of people and I can understand the desire to just sleep away winter. If I were a bear, I would be curled up inside a cave right now dreaming about spring. lol

    Hi Spangle,

    You are so right. I guess my Haiku is a Senryu then. I should have thought of that. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Yes, S.A.D. is a real thing and we are now officially in the season of the pumpkin and turkey so bears beware, we could all join them lol.

    Thanks for a informative and delightful review!

    Always,

The author's words and are clever, interesting, descriptive and creative.
I enjoyed the read of this poem - it did make me smile. The poem flows
and connects well. When the time changes I want to be home before it
is dark. Hope you are doing well.....Maria

It's that lack of vitamin D the sun gives. I have a touch of that SAD (seasonal affective disorder) so I know what you mean.
Nice humorous haiku. I love the satori...
Moods get moodier.
Your picture and poem gave me a much needed chuckle.
Take care,
Katiemae

You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this skillfully written, clever piece. Fall does affect some people as you have described.
I love fall. Good use of dry humor
