Colours clear and bright.

Dancing through an autumn night.

Summer's dying light.

    Fall is magical transition that you have captured beautifully.

    I love how you brought all the imagery together - dark and light, like a never ending dance.

    love how the haiku balances brightness with fading — a gentle reminder that endings can still shimmer.

    Love the choice of photo. Love the attention to detail. That the colours are not just clear, but they are bright. This allows me to see the leaf as though it wasn't on the screen but in my hand. Dancing through an autumn night also gives me the idea of continuation. The idea of there being more or plenty. Absolutely lovely and thoughtful second line. The leaves being bright and clear does give the visual of summers dying light. Best of luck in the challenge Alex 🤗❤️

  • I especially loved the last line. Such a beautiful Haiku!

  • Lovely progression.
