    Without death there is no birth so the autumn of our years is beautifully presented here.

    I like this very much David. They die in beauty. I pressed a beautiful red leaf between two plastic pieces with tape and it still looks as lovely as when I picked it up. I wanted a little token of Ireland to bring home with me.

    This is a sad but very powerful Haiku my friend! Do you ever pick up the leaves and see how fragile they are, how delicate they are, how much they rely on you to keep them whole? Just a thought! What a spectacular poem David! Great Work!!

    Just remember, those dying leaves feed the next seeds so they can grow and bloom.
