A brilliant Haiku, Sam! The brevity you painted for eyes to flavor was an enjoyable read and with my compliments of your noted recognition of 1st placement--le creme de la creme! Eh, toss you some French w/o the fries! Aloha, William

Aloha, William! Thank you so much! I have to admit it was a challenge to get all of autumn's magnificent color and splendor into seventeen syllables. I am so happy you enjoy this slice of autumn glory! Love your side of "French" even without the fries! Mahalo hoaaloha! Hope you are doing well. It is wonderful to have you back in the soup doing the backstroke with the rest of us!!

Hi Andrea! Thank you so much not only for my placement but for the opportunity to create a fall rainbow of color and texture. This was a fun contest theme - to think about autumn at its mid-point! Thank you for your sponsorship and all that you do to promote PS and encourage us to write with your delightful contests! Blessings of autumn splendor to you! The mountains must be beautiful wearing their golden cloaks.

Hi BJ! Thank you so much for your gracious words of compliment. Sometimes I love to just stand in the middle of an autumn scene and breathe in its loveliness. Autumn truly is a blessing straight from the creative heart of our God! Blessings to you!

Wow I absolutely love this haiku beautiful soul! The way you’ve used colors and painted imagery and how you’ve described twilight as lavender! Is beyond brilliant and ethereal. I love that! In few syllables youve presented a magical one that truly left me captivated. And i can see golden rivers flow through your words, so serene and autumnal! Perfect for October! Goodluck for the contest

Dearest Inky, how can I express my gratitude for your beautiful words of feedback! I was hoping to capture just a little of autumn's "ethereal" (great word) magic. I am so glad you were able to step into this amazing time of year through these words! Thank you for your wonderful, supportive words. They are such a source of inspiration especially as we both love to articulate the "colors" of our world. Blessings of joy to you!!

Sam--you summed up fall so beautifully with your delightful Haiku. The imagery was absolutely perfect ... and I loved 'lavender twilights' This time of years is beautiful and soft. Have a wonderful evening, Sara
