Written for Val’s Haiku Scavenger Hunt
#1 where we are to write a haiku with
a seasonal word and a turn.
crisp, cool autumn air….
the golden canopy shakes
revealing bare wood.
This is “October” by U2

A gorgeous and crisp haiku to kick off Val’s scavenger hunt, Nancy! You captured the essence of the season so beautifully—that shift in the final line from golden canopy to bare wood was such a perfect ‘turn.’ I smiled reading murisopsis’s comment about how well this described her chilly dog walk! Also, your banter with Clive over Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Bare Trees’ gave me a laugh—it’s always fun when a song choice leads to a music trivia debate. Thanks for setting such a lovely autumn mood! PS: My exposure to music was monotonic in my earlier days but now I’ve seen and listened a lot.

A different video, but you’ll be hearing that song again tomorrow 😉

I almost went with Fleetwood Mac’s “Bare Branches” simply for the title but this one suited my Haiku better. Tomorrow it is!

Just as well, as the Fleetwood Mac album and song is ‘Bare Trees!’
You now have a pretty good idea of my theme for tomorrow. I’m playing six, and I’m hoping you’d be hard pressed to name more than two of the others, at best 🤣

I guessed as much!
You’ll have to wait and see. There are three that I think are pretty obscure, and some lovely tunes in there 😉
