1. Happy Autumn Susan…sad to see the summer end? Everything seems to be moving so fast, let’s enjoy the fall, okay?

   • Happy autumn, SFAM! No–not sad in the least–autumn is my favorite season. Just playing with the prompt from HH today. On the equinox, to have the word be birth, I could see no other way to write these haiku but from the perspective of a wheel of seasons/life.

     • You always see things as they should be seen my friend…it’s the rest of us that get to see them as you do that is so special. This is also my favorite time of the year…I am an autumn child to be sure.

       • That’s both of us–technically, my due date was today, as my mom was always so fond of telling me–I think she held it against me that I did not wait the extra two days to be born, so I would share a birthday with my grandfather

         • Awww, well it’s close enough and if you feel it in your bones, then you are an autumn child.

           • close enough for me

2. Here in Sweden this is so scary moving into darkness

   • ahhh–understood. In New York, we will just get really abbreviated days…

   • Oh, wow–when do the polar nights start for you guys? I do not envy you the lack of the sun, but it must be wonderful to see the aurora borealis (which, while gorgeous, is no substitute for the sun).

3. Evenness between dark and light…I loved it ..beautiful..

   RS:)

   • Oh, thank you, Ramesh!

4. Autumn is my favorite season and I always feel a “quickening.” Your haiku speaks to me. Thank you.
