Haiku time

I'd forgotten how much fun it is to write Haiku.

And they're short and painless, so I'll share. (Since it's just the 6 of us anyway...)

Try one! They're fun!

(and no, I don't stick to the exact syllable structure...that's not the main defining characteristic of haiku anyway...)

dusk falling coldly
smell of fire and burning leaves
lonely autumn road
__

boats rub the bumpers
mud dobbers swarm the boat dock
bluegill play hide and seek
__

gentle running stream
crawdads hide under flat rocks
cold on my bare feet

__
smell of cold
outside the window
snow drifts
__

three jackets by the door
dripping snow melts on the floor
warm dryer running
__

empty summer school
under the second desk in the front row
six colors of bubble gum
