one butterscotch leaf
clings alone on lofty perch
then lands at my feet

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Worked my way back to several of your autumn haikus, all of them well-wrought! Leafing only one comment, though, so you've not a ton of notifications to check!
Another excellent haiku capturing autumn leaves.
Butterscotch yellow - I hadn’t thought of that way to describe the fall color of a maple leaf! ❤️
So peaceful 🍂
To describe movement so effortlessly in a haiku is really impressive. Such a beautiful poem!
What a way to describe a maple leaf. Good job.
Gorgeous work Andrea! ☺️
