Bright green turned scarlet
Breaks away, dry gusts plucking.
Then, you are naked.

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners

This makes me think of many things, but just trees haha Nice one!
Exactly how it happens!
Ooh, frisky! And also kind of pure.
This is quite the risqué haiku for this autumn season. Good job.
Beautiful and pensive, Andrea, I loved it. Hope you are healing from your surgery nicely.
Vivid Autumn haiku & gorgeous photo!
Dry gusts plucking, I especially loved that. Beautiful Haiku!
That's a tree, stripped bare! And a very cool haiku!
This is hot. 🥵 🍂
