haiku #123117
an autumn leaf
making way for fresh spring growth
falls, with a flourish
© Rebecca Sanchez 2017
This is what I used to make my artwork (part of a larger photograph I took.) I caught a leaf falling, not only that, but it had a hole in it I could see through. It was suspended there just for my camera. I think it’s magic catching something like this while it’s happening. Perfect for this prompt and the last day of 2017. Happy New Year!
Written with Haiku Horizons (my last poem of 2017) for the prompt fresh. Shared with Poets United also.

i liked this idea of renewal. certainly the world needs loads of it as the state it is in.
loved the artwork, your re-imaging of the photo. very artful, interesting colors. 🙂

Thank you, Sumana! It fits well doesn’t it? I changed the second line a little, I’m always so awkward with my haiku.

I changed it to “making way for fresh spring growth.” I often go back and tweak a few words. Do you ever?
