trees exhale

October 5, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner 12 Comments

summer’s final breath
vanishes into fall as
weary trees exhale.

This haiku was written for the Write Tribe Contest 2.

    Haiku delivers
    what most people don’t expect

    Weary trees exhaling. Kinda makes those breezes I hear blowing through the trees take on a different meaning. Maybe they’re yawning and getting ready for their autumnal nap. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love the weary trees exhaling – almost heard their sighs. Nice one.

    That is a beautiful and elegant way of expressing the onset of fall and departure of summer.
