Fall To Pieces

bountiful brown leaves
blot the ground with soft wreckage
autumn's textured rust

I'm fond of haikus (is that the correct plural of the word?), and this is a good one. Love it. I must write some more. I think I have only four or five.

I also see beauty in transformation, colors changing, morphing into new surprises -- who knows, maybe transforming into something different that is equally or perhaps even more enchanting. I love the patina on copper and brass. Excellent, thought provoking words. Joe.

My appreciation for your fine words, Joe. Transformation (as u note) "morphing into new surprises" is a reward of living. Thank you for your insights. Brian
