Autumn

by Graeme Fielden

The autumn gong sings
Short, sweet words of lament to
The passing summer.

Vivid, keen observation of the change of seasons. The apparent contradiction of sweet and lament emphasizes the warmth of the summer into the sometimes melancholy beauty of the brisk fall.

'sweet words of lament' Paradoxically subtle. Sounds so positive.

Beautiful, clever, and very much what a haiku should be!

"Short, sweet words of lament" that is an awesome line. The comparison of sweet and lament, bring forth an interesting emotion that doesn't seem unfamiliar. Great read.
