that you get more beautiful,
as I fade away?

Love this one, one of your best imo!
👏Beautiful
Cathy this photo is sooooo gorgeous!! I love the ombre effect of it having all the colours and slowly fading from top to bottom!! You're haiku was splendid as well!!
Stunning photo and question posing haiku! Lovely work!
Hmmm, very thoughtful piece. You're making me feel and think, lol!! Wonderfully penned :)
A question from above and a photo of a tree. So who gets more beautiful as who fades away? I'm a little lost 😅😅
Trees definitely have a lock on long life! I like how this poem reflects a change in introspection as we age. Very thoughtful Haiku!
I don't know about that- this poem is beautiful.
Another, gorgeously melancholy haiku.
Got me in the feels with that one
Poignant.
Beautiful fall photo, and a lovey haiku to match!
I love this
