Kingdom Calls
#3 of 6 I switched this one around a lot, curse you perfectionism and doubt! Hopefully the final product is to your liking, fellow readers. (Message ahead of time, as I write for the other challenges)💬 Please forgive me, those of you whose poems or fiction I have not yet read, I don’t know my knees from my elbow. I am so tired I could request six days straight, of uninterrupted sleep💬. This is for the Falling leaves Challenge the grind must go on. 🙏🏽♥️🤗
🧣🧊Gold leaves, not yet eve.
🍃Green to red kingdom, send seas
🍁Amber, beauty falls.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

I love this line: "Green to red kingdom, send seas." Beautiful work, Caitlin!
You make the colours come alive in just a few lines :-)
Very nice, Caitlin. You are setting a high standard.
Amber, beauty falls is a lovely juxtaposition and matches perfectly with the challenge image below it. The Haiku is a deceptive form, because it is short, the poet must leverage the juxtaposition of different elements to create the desired visual and emotion response in the reader. In this case, to capture the transitive nature of autumn in 17 syllables, which you did. Well done and good luck in the challenge!
Oh my, that second line was soooo brilliant! Loved your poem so much!
Love the imagery of this one Caitlin!!
Love the falling amber beauty🍂
beautifully written
Beautiful! I love how many colors you fit into so few words!
A haiku that allows one to see the colors in the evening. Really like the image for I remember seeing scenes like this in Pennsylvania.
I really like how you call them a kingdom. Makes it so regal 💖
It's beautiful!
Beautiful!
The colours capture it beautifully, Caitlin.
Stunning and interesting haiku and image. Invites contemplation. ❤️
A beautiful haiku, Caitlin, and the image is stunning, with the fall sharply going into winter.
