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.
