Autumn in Southern Wisconsin, Enchanting and beautiful music in the background, the humidity gone for a day. Red and yellow leaves showing up more and more. I Love Autumn, it's peacefulness, and sometimes it's pain, in beginning to turn towards Winter. Taking off Summer's clothes, ever so slowly, like a Lover. Wet streets, wet ground, grey skies that seem endless, but they bring in a sense of everything Being exactly as it should be. A leaf falls, seeming to say to me "See you again next Spring". The Cranes still here, long grey bodies, bright yellowish and orange eyes, A seemingly good omen, as they hunt for food, Undisturbed by humanity all around them, They just continue being Cranes, The real Adepts of the neighborhood! I'm glad today that Summer's heat is gone, Autumn always makes me take stock of my life, and be thankful. For this divine moment of introspection, Of giving me a look into nature, a true vision of how simple that life really is, when we just get still enough to hear, to really listen, and to really see. And to feel taken care of by the Divine Dao, who allows and helps us to be, who we really are, in this moment, called Autumn.

Been alone now, for seven and one half years. Wondering if it'll stay like this forever, Or if 'the Dark Enigma' will bring another lady, my way, in spite of my fears. Get tired of wondering, on some days. Other days are filled with busyness, and the thought recedes to the back of my mind. Then it comes out of hiding, once again. But honestly, right now, I'd settle for a friend, who just lives close by. We'd meditate, listen to music, drink tea, and maybe every once in a while, we'd Make Love. Then I think that it's been seven and one half years, since I Loved a woman, and for a very short while, she Loved me in return. Don't wanna be hurt again, ​Just lookin' for a friend. To explore Autumn with, and watch the leaves fall to the ground. Such a beautiful time to Fall in Love, and watch the seasons change. In November I turn 65. And I'd like to not be alone, on my birthday. Come on. I know that 'you' hear me! ​Is that askin' too much? So, she'd better hurry up, cause I'm plain tired of being alone. Do 'you' hear me, I said that I'm plain tired of being alone! Nothing would make me happier, if for once, you'd show up, on time. I'm waiting, but I've stopped watching....................the clock.

rather than chaining them all together, or waiting until the chain offers an opening for your inspired haiku, post 'em here! Ham Led Salami. Those words are an anagram; I am mad as hell.

Delight of Light Easy distinguished words of laughter Pure lighting stroke the keys A beauty gleamed and opened up the treasures So birds could chirp happily The sunshine beamed into the casket As body decomposed from grace But mastery overcame the smiles As grins lit up the room All the members of the family Exulted from the passing of a member Because wisdom was passed without a trace Their hearts opened up the chanting With an exuberant laughter and cake Pleasure composed to bring gratification As gentle heat warmed up their bellies Cheers and delight became a second coming As their hands went up in jubilation Day was frozen still… Leonid (Leon) Basin http://www.leonbasin.weebly.com
