Autumn Song by Lanie Shanzyra P Rebancos

(Tanka and Haiku Collection)

Twigs snap under my boots
on my way home
alone

Midnight
after work-
black veil
took me
home

Pumpkin pie
on my plate-
crumbs
on my sister's
shirt

Attic
smell of dust and
memories

Cloudy day
a kite
passes by

Autumn song
so lonely
even the leaves
cry
