October 31: Shopping

grocery cart hand-off

the warmth left

by a stranger’s hands

October 30: Migrating sparrows

the high calls

of migrating sparrows

so far yet to go

October 29: To roost

crows headed to roost

the day’s efforts

lifting away

October 28: River

knowing the river

is right out there

in the dark

October 27: Bird seed

daintily

pecking at bird seed

one big crow

October 26: Migration (& bonus guest haiku!)

leaves rustling
with sparrows
fall migration

And a bonus haiku by guest contributor Vicki Henderson (my mom):

sprinkled from the sky
a peppering
of sparrows

October 25: Deer

woods opening again

we haven’t seen the deer

since spring

October 24: Harvest Moon

hoping the snow

turns back to rain

harvest moon

October 23: Mums

Halloween display

pot of mums

giving up the ghost

October 22: Gym Moon

evening workout

every new circuit

a glimpse of the moon

October 21: Crows in wind

swirling crows

autumn wind

made visible
