Through The Skylight

a morning gift

autumn gold wakes me
decants into thirsty skin
not a drop wasted

well done ... really appreciate the call of your closing line ... take the time .. never waste a drop .. our "special" days that exude our seasons are precious indeed ... to be rolled in ... reveled in .. breathed deeply in ... the haiku form is perfect for the theme ... you create an intimate and emotive scene that has power and imagination ... again .. nice one says i!

Thank you Mr E for your lovely thoughts. Always appreciated, as I too appreciated the sun's blessing this morning. Bathed in it, I did :) All good wishes winging their way to you.

dear Chris... a lovely Haiku for Autumn
When the wind whips through our skirt and
says “catch me if you can”... Must be Peter Pan. As ever, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Love your response Pat. I had a Marilyn Monroe moment. What an iconic photograph that was of her. Many thanks for your visit..

I remember longing for robust sunshine, when the rays got so bleak in the winter. This is such a beautiful and meaningful haiku.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you DIVYA. We have a day here where a bit of sunshine wouldn't go amiss. Lack of light and sun, doesn't suit me.

A brief and lovely ode to Autumn, my very favorite season--one spectacular time of year, that is too quickly gone.
Breathtaking portrayal, Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Jimmy. Yes, a season to savour. Unlike the bleakness, damp and cold of today. A day drained of colour.

So thoughtful at this time of year. We have been blessed with what is called an "Indian Summer."
The sun is, as you describe, golden in the sky. It has been further accented with cloudless blue skies.
Forced by its' beauty to go outdoors and enjoy and appreciate it.
Take care - Dave

And a true gift this is in the three lines of tribute to Autumn my friend. A delightful read.

I've really been drinking it in of late. The trees are changing color, as if God took a paintbrush and stained them overnight. Beautiful to drink it in indeed.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Linda for checking in. Autumn is certainly the season of colour.

There’s a leaf in all of us and in a season we could be disconnected permanently from our family tree. You just never know! Nice write Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Andew, all good wishes.
