Red, gold takes the stage

‘Till Winters breath knocks them down

Dreams fall to the earth

    I like "dreams fall to earth"--so true about the temporal nature of beauty. Excellent Haiku.

    Simply beautiful. I love the metaphor of dreams for leaves.

    Oooh yes! Autumn feels wrapped up in this. Sometimes what falls away is only making room for what’s meant to grow next. 🌱

    Lovely choice of imagery. My heart feels warm looking at the sun through the trees. I love what colour we see before winters breath comes. But then you left us with exactly what that would entail. Fantastic job here Sean. 🤗❤️👌🏾

    Ooooh. I am loving everyone's subtle takes on the same singular event - of leaves falling. This was stunning, Shaun. I love the stage setting and winter's breath - it not needing much to knock those red and browned leaves down. And that last line just lands beautifully. You can't see, but this grumpy Scot is applauding you.
