The Mulch of Time

Dark Dreamscapes Poetry Contest Week 4 Prompt 2

Playing with haiku. Pick your favorite as my official entry.

Winter-naked trees
Glaring as I crunch over
Fallen time-clock leaves

Winter-naked trees
nourished by the passing time
of fallen clock-leaves

Dark and timeless night
Winter-naked trees stand guard
On their fallen leaves

(Three haiku of three lines each)
