tend to agree with follett

this is a chainsawed haiku! Is that the joke? 4-7-4 Something stronger or more evocative than "rite of passage" would improve it. cheers, Jess

Senryu/Haiku

Now this one is actually a Haiku because it deals with nature by implying the change of seasons. Your structure is great, but I'd work on a few words here or there, e.g. if you really woke up with a chainsaw in your hands cutting wood it might be a little scary. Have I mentioned that my sense of humor might be slightly strange at times? I have also been accused of being too literal, if you can imagine!

Reminds me of fall!

Ah!! The crisp clean smell of fall air...rushing headlong into winter. I can hear the fire crackling. I liked it. Wolfy.
