Autumn Leaves 5-miler @ Lake Farm Park

[MattCollister]

November second
Forty degrees and breezy
I wish I'd worn tights


Pavement, then pasture
My ankles sink in deep mud
Oops - that's manure


More high school runners
Full of energy and pep
Soon, life wears you down


Past the horse stables
I suppose I'd be pissed if
Someone woke me up


Up, up the steep hill
An old man slows to a walk
One day soon, me too


Through a corn field
I don't think I've ever run
Through a corn field


I keep thinking of
That crazy run in England
Down a hill, for cheese

Forty-two thirty
Maybe not Usain Bolt, but
Today, I'll take it

Haiku needs no rhyme
Five, seven, five syllables
Eighth grade, so I learned
