Thinking of Autumn



Night crickets
recall August's chorus,
 adagio.


Heated days melt
to golden afternoons,
bubbling soup.



 The first day,
pumpkin colored school buses
ooze children.


A treasure box
of woolen sweaters and shawls
set free.



Fallen leaves
summer's last refrain
now compost.




For today's challenge at HAIKU HEIGHTS Autumn is the topic.

  11. I liked them all, but loved the last one.
    The temporal progression/process of Fallen leaves to compost.
    A tiny detail, we always miss about those fallen leaves.
