At a friend’s doorstep tonight
To appease the ghosts🍂

A fellow phantom tonight
To sit at the fire🍂

Starting with a glimmering
Ending with a glow
It’s so hard to forget pain
Harder to forget sweetness🍂

Quite a jigsaw puzzle mess
But calm hydrangeas🍂

Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello
🍂Bluejays lingering
Waiting for the melon seeds
Thrown in the evening🍂
🍂Sweet purple lilac
In the twilight hazy air
Inner litany🍂
🍂Glasses echoing
Laughter such a sweet echo
Brilliant blue lupins🍂
🍂All the quiet hours,
Evenings in the garden
Sipping on red wine🍂
🍂A field of green gold
Quite serene in the chaos
Incandescent moon🌙🍂
