leafing through my fall

    The colour and the sound in the first line. Nicely captured. The second line also engaged our senses. Love the flicker of the harvest. Amazing how you pulled it back to a home of emotions, sad or neutral. Nicely done Marilyn. Best of luck on the challenge 🤗❤️

  • The photo matches your haiku perfectly.

    I can practically feel autumn in your words. So beautiful.

  • I especially loved the last line! Such a beautiful Haiku!
