A Haiku


(Black Leaf on Green Background
by Henri Matisse, 1869-1954, French
printmaker, painter, and sculptor)

As Autumn approaches, a haiku.

Swinging on delicate hinges
the Autumn Leaf
Almost off the stem

~ Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), American of French-Canadian descent, a poet and novelist who wrote in both French and English and was one of the original members of the Beat Generation
