to see fall more than once
outside the same window
one red leaf piercing
the green ivy blessing my
concrete city home

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Wonderful contrast in your haiku between nature and city - leaves and concrete. Congrats on the win!
So simple, yet beautifully rich in feeling! Congratulations! 🩷🙌🏽🎉
Pretty amazing how one dissenting leaf can stand out so beautifully. Nice picture too! I like to see art and photography from authors, and wish there was more of this and less of the ai generated imagery on here.
I love that this brings small blessings into sharp focus. Congrats on your win.
Lovely simplicity in this blessing. Congratulations on your win 🥳
