Good Morning hh. Hi. And what beautiful leaves autumn has. I turned to this entry because of the title. There is no other season as her. Wonderful execution. Have a wonderful day. Blessings always.

Enjoyed the flavour of the poem, Harry...Autumn is such a beautifully melancholy time of year. Strange little contradiction with the still sky contrasting the whirling leaves -- but works well! My very best regards! :) john

An evocative image Harry, not easy to capture these moments in a few lines, but your senryu certainly paints a full autumnal picture, cheers David

I like this one. Very creative work. Thanks for your visit to my page. I think we are all on the mend. Our grandson who has had it(coronavirus) just like us wasn't hardly sick at all but the old people here are hard hit. Sara
