Wabi Sabi : Our Autumn Haiku 2

4G went on a haiku-walk to look at some of the trees.

Wet lavender dripping,

Lime trees with bugs crawling up,

But leaves falling down.

Marie

Big round olive tree,
Small cylinders all around:
Delicious olives!

Rod

Bugs trot on rough leaves;

Nights longer and days shorter

Soft, rough and dry leaves.

Gracia

Bumpy, rough and dry,

Spiky grass in the cold wind.

Lazy branches fall.

Annie

Purple lavender

Very old and bumpy trunk

Japanese maple

Anabel

A red bug's running

Up and around on a log:

Japanese maples.

Gabrielle

Spiky balls hanging
On a thin branch of maple
With colourful leaves.

Rose



Wind making leaves blow,
Flowers turn to seeds in June,
Leaves turned into tea.

Holly



Wind blowing, leaves fall,
Spiky balls hang on branches,
With colourful leaves.

Noah



The lime trees as hard as
Steel; A nest with plenty of
Good food for nature.

James



Sometimes green or red
Bugs coloured orange, red and black,
Go down the grey stem.
