canopy uproots
lies upon the undergrowth...
breeding rookery

I can see this__a fallen tree, maybe with its seed falling down or other seed falling where its roots have loosened the soil. I see that this one is a winner. Congratulations!!! Way to go.. We are fine after the hurricane has passed. The path changed and came back in above where we would get any rain or storms from it. So many others were not that blessed. They say now 33 known dead. So much property is destroyed~~probably never will be rebuilt. We are still having wind this morning.. Sara

A haiku with so few words brings us into Fall's imagery.
