feuille-morte
slow rot drifts down, as memories of summer fade lurid wistfulness ~~~ I thought the ghastly history of the word "lurid" makes it a fitting adjective for this haiku and also a great word for describing the color of the dying leaves. The word comes from the Latin 'luridus', which was used in the 17th century to describe the pale yellowish color of diseased or bruised skin.

Imola, this haiku feels like magic, and I love your spin on the challenge!
This is a creative take on the challenge.
A nice moment. Romancing the haikus that comes flooding through. I think it amazing, that we are all looking to the decaying leaves for inspiration. Nicely done, Imola. 🤗❤️
This feels all so very seasonal and even a little poignant. Well done, Imola!
Haikus drifting like autumn leaves feels so perfectly seasonal.
They sure are born from decaying leaves hehehe. Loved this!
