Innocence meets Autumn

Falling leaves Haiku

By Novel AllenPublished 4 months ago β€’ Updated 4 months ago β€’ 1 min read

Laughter evanesce.

Senses gently awaken

Seasons...youth...drifting.

*

Caution to the wind

Wild transient joy...carefree

Youth romps in color.

*

Childhood, frolics...laughs

tumbling, climbing, falling

Transitory bliss.

*

Entranced, wind joins in

Scattering beauty. Laughter

Echoes long after....

*

Happy, remembered

In the passing of the years

Childhood memories.

    This is the first haiku for the Challenge that I've found with multiple stanzas like this. Absolutely brilliant and really paints a picture.

    Lovely, Novel, reminded me of jumping into the heap of leaves when I was young. My son loved doing it too!

    There's something special in the unconventional rhyming of after with laughter in the third haiku, which brings out the idea of echos as well! Well-wrought!

    I join the lovely voices below, this made me nostalgic...not so long ago I chased the autumn, leaves myself. Such bliss. Love the cover pic a lot. Unity for all.
