Leaves fall in Autumn
fertilizing earth below.
Spring welcomes new leaves.
Writer's notes. It's a beautiful day in North Texas. The Sun is shining brightly. The air is cool and crisp. The trees are naked and beautiful. While observing the trees, was reminded of the plant cycle.
This poem is entered into the Time Capsule Haiku challenge.
According to Vocal, "For this challenge, we are asking you to capture how a haiku can be a vehicle to represent a period of time or express the feeling of time."
Nature represents and expresses time perfectly.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
