Dear Valsa, yes, you vividly capture the last leaf's desperate cling so masterfully.. as each moment passes its grip slips from the present to the past.. and such a great last line for a grand finale to an awesome haiku! Your poetic gift shines! Warmest wishes, my sweet friend.. ~Susan

Moment wonderfully caught, Valsa. The picture that you painted provides a fantastic picture of the splendor that is seen in nature! And it sums up how I've been feeling over the past several days.

Love the image Valsa, have seen that lone leaf many times and notice when it finally comes down. Back from Spain now but heading off again next week to Wales. Hope you're keeping well. Tom
