Issue #147, Fourmile Canyon/Betasso Preserve, Boulder, Colorado, October 11, 2008. Haiku and images by Jonathan Machen.




the storm we anticipated
finally arrived -
good time for a walk




once off the trail
forest embraces me fully
hidden paths emerge




yellows and oranges
mark the end of a season
not blues and purples




walking up ravines
and unknown gullies - it takes awhile
to know a place




heady with basil
from october harvest
fingers carry the scent




white quartz
evoking these
old mountain bones




sky heaves a sigh
draping landscape
in october cloud




lifted into
the clouds above
this walking trail




for over an hour
temperature drops
incrementally




last brave blossom
stands tall
against october squall
