Autumn Shawl

Fluttering golden 
brown leaves dancing on air falls 
undressing nature

The wild geese flying 
overhead a sign of peace
winter closes in

Throwing the old peat
keeping a fire burning 
as cold approaches

Love how you depict the falling leaves as garments being taken off. One of my first haiku that I wrote used the term "autumn coat" so it's interesting that you say "autumn shawl". A well put together strand of haiku.
