The Fall
For falling leaves
Warmth eddies through blue.
False flame turns death to glory.
Mistaken, I rise.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Love the contrarian perspective you give on fall (the fall?). Congrats on placing in the challenge!
I, like many others, love how you chose to highlight the rise, rather than the fall side of things. Was dramatic because of that. Well done on placing! You've had an exceptional run since being back! Very impressed and proud!
Stunning work, Hannah. Congratulations on your win!🍂
I love that you've made it about rising, rather than falling, and it works so well 😁 Well done my fellow runner upper 😁 👏 🏆
Congratulations Hannah! Lovely haiku.🥳
Wooohooooo congratulations on your win! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Gorgeous, Hannah! Love your ending— perfect haiku! ✨🩷🎉
So many ways I could interpret this beautiful haiku, but then again, no need to. It’s powerful as it stands. Congratulations on your win 🥳
So much in so few! Congratulations
I like the contrast to the obvious "fall" that so many of us have used in ours Hannah. Thought-provoking!
The concision here is impressive. In three lines, you establish atmosphere, metaphor, and ambiguity – hallmarks of an effective haiku.
Stunning work Hannah! 🧡🍂
Whoaaaa, your second line, that was my favourite! Loved your Haiku!
Autumn sometimes feels like a kind of death and also rich and glorious like this haiku. I love the incongruity of your ending. Good luck on the challenge!
Stunning
Your work is consistently good. I love the photo. The ending was unexpected and pleasantly jarring. Did you consider reversing the first line to "Blue eddies through warmth?" because of the photo? I'm not suggesting a change. I was just curious.
Gonna win. I call it!
Gorgeous!!
A beautiful haiku!!
