the sounds of Munch’s scream

November dawn
the furies still raging

the morning
after the long southwester
a line of geese

a gust of wind
rattles
the empty lock

autumn trek
in meadow winds
droning in my ears
.
droning in my ears
entrains all that wanders
in fall’s flurry
.
in fall’s flurry
before the long rest
a clutch of geese

duck heads feather tucked
sentinels by the water
standing on one leg
:
in unison
graceful sway of consensus
grasses in the wind
:
first leaf scatter
in autumn winds’ ocean roar
time to surrender

Note: my photo shows both geese and ducks standing on one leg.
Inspired by Frank’s 50th Haikai Challenge, I explore some of my recent encounters with autumn winds. They herald the gradual shift from summer to fall:
~
a subtle coolness
whiffs of air through the window
autumn is moving in
:
the green tarp is gone
did a thief pass by today?
gusts of autumn wind
:
close to heatstroke
cleaning the shed at summer end
I catch a breeze
:
new winds are blowing
autumn into everything
porch chimes singing

A crow navigates savage winds as branches conduct a symphony of snow and rain that scatters waves from gullies out to open fields.

This is my one-bun attempt for Carpe Diem #1402 Daffodils.
“The ‘one-bun’ is invented by Jim Kacian. The one-bun is an ultra-short haibun which has just one line of prose (including the title) and a (one-line) haiku.”
From Carpe Diem Haiku Kai
Early March winds cleaned off the porch last night…threw the empty greenhouse into the yard. Now it lies on its side pinned…kept in place.
Spring’s rival roams
dashing hopes of early thaw
hurling gusts of chill

The greenhouse event was a potential haiku that I almost bypassed. Frank J Tassone’s Haikai Challenge: “first spring gust” nudged me to write this haibun.
