A scrap of scarlet
breaks loose—a downward spiral,
and the faeries dance.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Elegant & magickal, just like autumn. I love this haiku!
I like how you viewed the leaves as a whole. But singled one out with the use of 'scrap of scarlet'. I could see how being on the branches, could make the leaves less in touch with the earth. Now fallen down to earth. Humbles the leaves in a way. Fantastic wordplay Harper 🤗❤️
Beautifully simple and elegant.
