Notes About The Poem

- Haiku X 233 - October Frost -

moment not in vain
                             a touch of last golden leaves - 
                             the smell of winter

                             spun shiny crystals
                             exquisite beauty as deemed -
                             farewell is breathed in

                             trembling on the twig
                             it's too late to mourn lost youth -
                             dead and neglected

Anne Lise you bring a breath of sunshine into this remaining courageous, yet lonely, leaf decorated by "spun, shiny crystals!" Your imagery is so stunning. Enjoyed this haiku string! Congratulations on your win! Warm autumn blessings and a hug!
