Leaves Ruffled

...Autumn leaves ruffled
by the secrets transmitted
through the howling wind...

That second line has an otherworldly aspect to it. If you read this, it almost seems to have a supernatural tint to it, doesn't it? Thanks as always, Gerard

How I long for the days when I lived up north and leaves turned bright colors before ruffling their secrets through howling wind. No leaves fall from palm trees and most of the plants where I live now keep their leaves year-round. Your haiku takes me back to my youth in New Jersey, Wilma. Very beautifully written! I'll be okay, dear, just doctorphobic. I am going to church this evening and that always lifts my spirits and brings serenity. Thanks for your friendship. Love, Carolyn
