Last Fall

#1 of 6 : For the falling leaves challenge. I took this particular photo before these challenges were announced. Boy was I relieved when I went to check my phone to see that they weren’t deleted. I also wrote all my haikus before reading others. So now I can run around the haikus garden and see what you’ve all come up with. πŸ˜˜πŸ’• Ready or not here I come!

Hands that chill. Rustled

Leaves. Paints of colours, wind beats.

Flutter. Dance. Last fall.

    This really makes me feel like November is around the corner.

    Oh that is some nice timing really! Chance opportunity taken to snap up an emodiment of the challenge and your wonderful words. I love the short bursts in the flow. Like whispered, quickly. In my head. As Novel said, there is a strong feeling of the fleeting moment from when the leaves start to fall and are fallen. Stunning and well done on Leaderboard action!

  • The deliberate period stops trace the movement of the leaf effectively, Caitlin.
