Another Autumn Haiku

That last leaf blushes,
Shakes, bobbles, falters… endures.
Autumn’s lone witness.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Congratulations! I love this haiku and image!🤗
Wooohooooo congratulations on your honourable mention! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Congratulations on your HM! Loved how you zoomed in on a single leaf 🥳
Oh this is lovely, good luck in the challenge ☺
I love how you’ve personified the leaf’s struggle, transforming a quiet seasonal moment into something deeply human. The pacing mirrors the trembling motion perfectly.
Nice!!
Gabriel said it well! Vivid haiku.
Ooooh, I love this one too...so much personality in one leaf, in just a few lines! And what a wonderful line - "Autumn's lone witness..."
