TJ's Household Haiku - Drift

My purpose was to write just one haiku for TJ's challenge, but instead more and more thoughts kept coming to mind.  This week I am posting four haiku and linking them to TJ's Household Haiku - Drift.  To see what other blog hoppers have written for this week's challenge, go to TJ's site and take a peek.

upon the river

the auburn leaves drift downstream

quickening their pace

Big leaf maple leaves

on currents of air

the white billowing clouds drift

across the blue sky

Billowing clouds

'tis hard to escape

the current drift of chatter

droning the airways

holding memories

the red balloon drifts upward

toward the heavens
