Falling for Fun

Inspired by the joy captured in a painting

"Afternoon Magic in Great-Grandma's Back Yard," Painting by B. Gaisford (aka Momma)

Crispy, crackly, crunch

Painted, pillowy piles plead

Don’t delay, dive in!

    I love this haiku AJ, it explains what every child experiences when they jump in a pile of leaves. I couldn't quite tell who the author is of the painting, but I just read Rick's response, and it was your mother's painting. Quite beautiful and you did her proud with her haiku. Nicely Done my friend.

  • I love this haiku. It has a sense of movement and youthful abandon - dive in. The painting is a masterpiece beautifully rendered.
