HAIKU (August hints of autumn)

The first hints of fall
a few golden poplar leaves
scattered through the woods

Fading spots on fawns
born early in the past spring
seen in mid August

Nesting birds grow scarce
as well as the fledglings' chirps
when young take to wing

At last morning air
carries a slight hint of cool
instead of moist heat

Trucks parked on roadsides
abandoned by owners
now scouting deep woods

Green winged teal arrive
first migrants through southern states
but hardly the last

lovely string of Haikus creating lively images of Autumn neatly captured by you...

You may want to take a second look at this line which is 4 syllables instead of traditional five..
