Autumn Haiku

September 23, 2009 § Neal Whitman § Poetry Prof.

by Neal Whitman

Here we start our second cycle of seasonal haiku. I wrote this haiku on September 19 to commemorate the 190th anniversary of the day John Keats wrote To Autumn following his daily constitutional. I went on walk in a pine grove, sat on a log, and this is what came to me. Should you ever visit me in Pacific Grove, California, come with me to our Farmers Market. Our town slogan is “America’s Last Hometown.”
