Lovely Haiku! I'm enjoying this form. 🧡
This haiku feels like a sigh of the season—gentle, fleeting, and deeply moving.
Sad and beautiful at once well done Rick
Ooo I've never seen a poem adorned in this way before. The effort is most certainly appreciated. Wow. Your words. I love that you use the window shot to centre the imagery. The beauty making you weep is like a direct mirror of the leaves falling. Outstanding work Rick 🤗❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Haiku truth: I am honoured to say that I expect no less from you Rick. Your heart is made of stars that would instantly recognise the beauty in falling leaves. Thank you for writing and sharing!
Such a big cry baby, give yourself a big hug for your tender heart. this season does invite a softening of the heart. Lovely thought.
Beautiful haiku and accompanying images.
I love how creatively you presented this haiku, with the headers./ Great entry! Good luck with it! :)
Your words are so vibrant.
Soft and sweet. I don’t have fall colors where I’m currently living. That will change next year, though.
Excellent entry, Rick!👏
Beautifully-written!
So true, there is something beautiful about fall.
Lovely haiku. Fall is my favorite 🧡
Captures the season so well.
Well-wrought, Rick!
I especially loved the last line! This was so beautiful!
I love how just a few words can capture both the colours of fall and the emotions they stir.
aww nice one. I love fall but hate what comes after.
