Haiku

by Desiree Young
Honorable Mention, Poetry
Morning sun rises.
The light is stinging my eyes,
Awake too early.
Refreshing rainfall,
If only for a moment,
Cleansing smog filled air.
The leaves are falling,
Shades of read, yellow, and brown
Don’t want to rake them.
Soft lilting music
Notes lingering in the dark
A single flute plays.
