🍂Autumn Falls
Fall Leaves.
🍂
A house made of leaves
collapses with every breath
still, the door remains.
*
Beneath the old oak,
Leaves glow with ancestral fire
Dreams dissolve in Red.
*
Autumn's golden hues
Through russet windows rustle
Fleeting Amber shush.
*
Raven stirs a branch
Autumn transforms...awakens
Gold Leaves romp. Rot.
*
Leaves drift through the dusk,
each one a faded whisper
from a vanished room
*
Wind rearranges
our shadows on broken paths
gold clings to silence .

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Delightful and whimsical.
Love the pics, go so well with the words. A quiet silence.
This was so beautiful. Loved your sets of Haikus!
An autumn fantasy. Good job.
This is your challenge AD! This is sensational & Soulful! Loved it! 🫶🏾🧡🍂
This haiku sequence is lovely. Lovely autumn imagery. 🍂
I like this— each haiku could stand in its own but they flow so nicely to make one whole. The last two are my favorites, they feel somber. As much as I love fall and fall festivities there is a sense of quiet loss when summer dies, and your poems capture that well
Two wonderful rhymes and six lovely autumnal haiku
