A million crickets
Fill the night with their singing
Late August is loud!
During the daytime
The cicadas are screaming
"Today will be hot!"
But then comes the autumn
And the first frost of the year
All becomes silent.
Dark will come early
Winter will be setting in
My spirits will drop.
How long must I wait
Till summer comes 'round again?
Will I last till spring?

Last NaBloPoMo Post!
30 days! I did it. Two Novembers in a row I didn't miss a day. Woo hoo!
I will close the month, and the long weekend, out with a haiku or two. We just arrived home and it was a long drive in the snow which became rain south of Albany.
Here I am again
Back in familiar Jersey
And it's cold and wet.
Thanksgiving's over
And so is the long weekend
How quickly it flew.
I can't help but think
Our lives are also like that -
Flying by too fast.
When I was a child
Looking ahead to summer
It seemed like forever.
Now it just flies by
A few months of warm weather
Then winter is here.
(Sorry, think I'm having a little episode of Seasonal Affective Disorder here. Bear with me...)
