the opened window 
i sketch my mind to canvas
the colours of  sky

looking down on
blushing poinsettias cause
 it's December

when the lore of red
smothers even the sunsets
seeped of November

memories of leaves
tired of clinging trees so
they wing on the wind

    Watching the moon is a great thing to do without a face mask, Gillena! You have reminded me of ‘blushing poinsettias’, flowers I haven’t seen in a long while. Very Christmassy!

    The leaves may have gone but deciduous trees decide to have a break over winter after giving birth to all her children.

    Gillena, these are both lovely! The bare face to the moon and the red of the season running over itself capture the private peace & overwhelming celebration of this season really well.

    At least the moon is untouched by all the madness. Thank goodness for the things that haven't changed.

    The moon is excellent company. The same goes for resilient leaves that hang on for a while... before dancing in the wind... towards something new and (one hopes) better...

    Happy Sunday, Gillena.

    I liked your Haiku foursome, I would name it (maybe) "Come December". My favorite line was "memories of leaves" because even when the leaves are gone our mind easily puts them back for us to see it dressed. Unless it's a Zombie Tree.
