20 big eyes


houses with eyes
to watch
as autumn deepens





34 eyes in wall


ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo




22 reflecting water




amazing autumn -
the red wall dances
with the waves




31 water on wall








autumn brook -
the silence of sunshine
on stones

a house with eyes... now this is cool, Gabi. There is something
scary about it too.

It seems to me you have caught the haunting spirit of Edgar Allen
Poe's, "The House of the Seven Gables", a horror story if ever there was,in just THREE lines of verse in a haiku.

Thanks, my friend from Canada.

Let me suggest to you minor changes to your poem:

ablazing autumn...
red walls dance
with waves


In English poetry the strategic use of articles is more "poetic". Your original has a strong image I very much enjoy... autumn...red... waves. I hope my suggestion is helpful.
