    I like your perspective on this. The leaves falling from the tree are like the falling of tears from this friend. All you wish is happiness for your friend. Great imagery. I really provokes innocent feelings. Well done!

    This has such a tender, almost childlike sweetness to it.

    Beautiful. Love the soft beauty of this one. Conveys a pure, almost childlike adoration and awe for our natural world

    I like the concept of trees weeping leaves. It's a striking image. Beautiful haiku, Lamar. Good luck on the challenge!

    Ooooo I like this one, slightly dark, slightly nursery rhyme. Great take

    This feels like the rhythm of a traditional haiku, though the words are not. Great choices-
