first frost treads silent
cat like paws with death in mind
seeds die cold cold earth

Beloved Dreamer said...: Hi anthony. So glad you dropped by to read my work. I too felt a shiver when thinking about what I could say about seeds. Summer is played out so one must move on the wonderful fall poems. I am very glad that you liked my poem.

Regina Clare Jane said...: Oh, it's so nice to visit here again... I always loved your writing.
This haiku really speaks to me- although we rarely see frost down here in S. FL, your first line brought back all kinds of memories from growing up in the north.
I loved the darkness of this, my friend. Well done.; 18 September, 2008 13:57
