Autumn Haiku - Set of Three
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

autumn 

whirlwinds of splendor
 autumn breathes umber blizzards ~
  crimson cloudbursts whorl

gusts of gold tangos
 jitterbug on orange swirls ~
  gales of scarlet squalls

outbursts of amber
 ride on russet fandangos ~
  vermillion downpours

Dear samszy! Wow this is so unique how youv written your string of haiku talented soul! You have an individual voice and thats something i admire in this world of copying etc! “ gusts of gold tangos jitterbug on orange swirls ~ gales of scarlet squalls” wow those orange swirls and hales of scarlet squalls! The way you use poetic techniques in few syllables is truly impressive! Seamless alliterations! And i love “ outbursts of amber” so clever and creative! Well delivered! Sending you light always

Dearest Inky, I am so delighted by your amazing feedback and lovely compliments! Many, many thanks!!! This was such a fun haiku string to write - thinking about the "storm" of colors in the fall and the splendor they bring to every day. I think, and feel strongly, that each of us has been given a unique view of the world to express - to develop our singular voice, as you have so beautifully done, all the while growing from exposure to other singular voices. Hope that makes sense. PS poets have had such an influence on my writing. All of you are truly a blessings! Sending you the splendor of blessings, dear friend!!
