wow, Darren, this is so beautiful and a creative haiku. You should put it into the ART contest (was there a rule on how long it had to be?)

I've been thinking about that Andrea, but I don't know so much about this painting, and if I see the other entries I already know they are so much better, so I will leave it as is I think :) But thank you.

Good Morning Darren, That clever Haiku goes perfect with that photo. Haiku is not one of my favorites, but occasionally I find ones I like and this is one of them. :)

With the picture this reminds me of an art class for still life painting :) It is a beautiful haiku, Darren that brings the painting to life <3

An absolutely perfectly written Haiku with such beauty and charm. This one makes me smile to read and also makes me hungry for pumpkin pie. (Even though there are no pumpkins in the graphic) :)

Pumpkin pie, really Chris :D this made me chuckle. Thanks, my friend.

You captured the picture so artfully with your words that you brought a still-life to life, which, to me, is an amazing feat:) Amitiés

Good Morning Darren. Autumn is my favorite season for all obvious reasons with all her flair and flamboyance. I get to experience her where I sit. Your Haiku is perfectly executed in form theme words and yes tone and voice. All are true to the form which is so unique. PS you did well to mention and incorporate fragrance because it is there and present when she is present. Have a wonderful day Darren.

It wouldn't take much to change this to a haiga Darren. Your haiku written in calligraphy near the bottom of this painting would be so outstanding. Have you ever created one Darren? I want to work on creating haiga when I have more time. This is a most striking haiku....lovely and Zen like. : ) 7
