Haikus 9 and 10

Harris Tobias last gave us A Disquisition on Spoons, which appeared at words to linger on in July. No disquisition here! Today he gives us a sampling of his haiku. While not following the precise syllabic prescriptions for haiku, these poems are traditional for the form in terms of their subject matter and their descriptive power. So, what's holding you back? Write some haiku!

Haiku 9
By Harris Tobias

The summer's end
some early leaves are falling
trying to beat the rush

Haiku 10
By Harris Tobias

Indian summer
I can still swim but I swim
with yellow leaves
