2023 Fall Haiku Contest

[shimbrypaku]

Hunter moon glows bright
Great spirit guides us onward
Many moon has past

 

[Ininaatigoons]

Leaves stayed on the tree
Some didn't get a big storm
My lawn is covered

 

[Novocastrian Greg]

For you it's now fall.
For those of us in the south.
It's all systems go!

 

[TN_Jim]

And did chop lower
A wren flew through the branches
Thanks tree left behind

 

[Shogun610]

The glow of the candle
Faint is Jack-o-lantern light
Spooky grows the night

 

[Cajunrider]

Bonsai trunk was chopped
Xylem bleeds to missing top
Jack O’ Lantern light

 

[Bonsai Nut]

LAST DAY FOR ENTRIES!

 

[Gabler]

Last day for entries,
We'll see no more new poems,
Till the next contest.

 

[Nybonsai12]

Red, Yellow, Orange
Leaves fall from their mothers hold
Her earned rest is now

 

[August]

Bone white and ghostly,
undead silhouette left bare,
an image of cold.

 

[Nybonsai12]

Ugly tree of mine
You taperless potato
Auction page you go

 

[Bonsai Nut]

Kids cry "Trick or Treat"
I know no tree will answer
However they smile...

 

[shimbrypaku]

Cold rain glowing flames
Jackolantern are ready
No goblins appeared

 

[shimbrypaku]

One more

Silent stillness breaks
Colors dance across the sky
Sunrise whispers hope

 

[HENDO]

Which one will I dig
Just now you have dropped your guard (leaves)
See you in the Spring

 

[Bonsai Nut]

Exactly 50 entries... took me six rolls to roll a number 50 or less

I usually just roll a d5 and a d10. A d50 is large and awkward to roll at a crowded table.

Might be a dumb question but wouldn't rolling two dice exclude single digit results? (when one shows only 10, 20, etc)

There's a "00" on the double-digit die. It goes from 0 to 90, not 10 to 100.
