As the leaves slow down,
they float to their resting place
for soft reflection.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

So peaceful, like a preparation for the winter.
As I say, our very own Haiku expert Sandy. Good one. Again the image is absolutely killing it. @Sandy Gillman
Evocative of calming, fall feelings. The poem slowed me down as I read it. "...soft reflection" is a keeper. Well done.
Very peaceful haiku.
Such a lovely photo of an autumn leaf. The title was quite fitting. It does look like it's resting. I do like the idea of them floating down for soft reflection. It's like an echo of what we may do as humans too. When we lay to rest for the night. Best of luck in the challenge, Sandy 🤗❤️

This is like a sweet lullaby 🥰
