    This is a fantastic haiku. A depiction of life itself.

    Every line gave me a new word to learn. But I like it 🍂

    Such calm and stillness in just a few words.

  • Frond was a new word for me. Loved your beautiful Haiku!

    Things must end for there to be a beginning. Good job

    It's sad to think of autumn leaves as the end of a life, but it's also fitting as well. It's the end of a cycle, after all. Nicely done.

    Beautiful haiku, Raymond, but shouldn't it be either "life endeavor ends" or "life endeavors end"?
