Temperature rises everywhere. Plants cannot withstand the heat. Green leaves turn golden. Great haiku.

Times consumes itself... Sigh that's such a poignant and thought-provoking image! It's really gonna stay with me for a while .. the scene of cicadas, and those green leaves.. the way you've infused aching sentiments in scenes that were originally meant to be beautiful.. a heartfelt haiku! Sending you light and best wishes.
