Late Night Haiku XXX
By Timothy R. Butler | Posted at 23:18:22
LXXXIV. What somber tones emit
The crickets tonight. Mourning.
Summer is dying.
LXXXV. Summer's end nears,
As the night rolls into day.
People go to, fro.
LXXXVI. People do not heed

'Til it comes to them.
A new passerby,
yet something feels familiar.
An old friend returns.
Something significant in the triple-X of your Roman numerals — a common symbol of something stronger than the gentle summer wine. This time will not pass gently.
Caedmon: nice — and interesting…
Ed: yes, indeed. I thought the XXX could be misinterpreted, but I didn't want to skip thirty…
