Saturday Haiku: Acorns Emerging

 

acorns emerging
foretell days of abundance
when shadows lengthen

Note: Some haiku come quickly, and some come after rewrites. This week's haiku came after four previous attempts (and you can see from the picture, I started thinking about this one when the acorns were green). Here are the ones that came before. You can judge whether I settled on the right one:

acorns on the branch
foretell days of abundance
as sunlight recedes
 
green branch with acorns
foretells days of abundance
when leaves are falling
 
green branch with acorns
foreshadowing abundance
in days when leaves fall
  
acorns emerging
foretell days of abundance
as sunlight recedes
