Dear friends,
The Winter Retreat of Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, my daily haiku meme on blogspot, is almost over. You have still five days to participate. The Winter Retreat, 30 days of writing haiku or tanka every day, ends on December 15th 10.00 PM (CET).
For today I have a nice tanka for you in which I think the silence is obvious and strong.
after the hot summer
finally the beauty of Mother Earth
her crescendo
colorful leaves covered
with the first frost

See you …
Chèvrefeuille's haiku 
Yes, the tanka celebrates autumn beautifully. With the sound of one hand clapping, I also applaud the concept of a silent crescendo! 🙂
frost a silent chill
teeth chattering silence breaks
warm fire ends cold
outside sharp frost silent chill
silent breeze the cold prevails
autumn winter gone
silence exploded birds sing
springs crescendo wins
summer sounds delight the free
autumn winter silence pain
me thinks please agree
words from a poets hand flow
with intent aglow
emotion from their hearts tell
of all bad good war and hell
just one to four a present
wishing you the best
from me to you and your kin
the best of all peace goodwill
cant stop got the bug
