Ephemeral
my entry for the "Falling Leaves" challenge #2
crimson wonderland
laced with gold and emerald—
just for an instant.
~~
🍂 I got some time off in the forest at work because the forester was 2 hours late. So I sat down under an oak tree and wrote at least a dozen of haikus for this challenge. I finally got myself a waterproof notebook, so I can write down my ideas.
Thank you for reading! 🍁
P.S. I try to get back to everyone with the comments but I am often off the grid for 10+ hours a day. So bear with me, and don't be surprised if you get an answer in a week.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

The fleeting nature of autumn is felt in your haiku. Great job!
Love this one 🍂 such vivid colours captured in a fleeting moment.
I can tell you're having fun with this challenge. I can't wait to do a few more myself, lol. This one turned out great! 🤩
I can see the crimson forest. Just beautiful.
This is as crisp as the picture. Love it
The bold and clever choice of using two words in the first line — filling the rest with their syllables was a great choice. It said a lot in a little. Crimson took over. I could imagine it being laced with gold and emerald. The use of emerald really brings that otherworldly feel. Just for an instant. Gave that all satisfying finish with a tinge of sadness. Amazing work here Imola 🤗 ❤️
Crimson wonderland is a wonderful expression! this was an eloquent entry that really highlights what i love about autumn! well done, lass!
A waterproof notebook is sooo cool! Loved your Haiku, especially the crimson wonderland!
