Why I Loved Carolyn's Haiku Poem: Fallen Foliage

Deep in Nature's woods
                              Battle scars of weathered life
                                    Silently descend
          
                                                   _ Carolyn Devonshire



I would read this splendid Haiku of Carolyn many many  times
but like a favourite  precious jewel, this GEM will never fade and will never fail to mesmerise me every time.
Carolyn, "deep in nature's woods", your story shall dwell.  
The wildflowers and emerald trees shall whisper your name
in perpetuity. As "battle scars of weathered life silently descend",
the rustling auburn leaves shall dance to woods' symphony~ only for you. 
And when dusk hides the day, the birds shall sing your favourite song.

I will start looking for Carolyn tribute poems today so I can post the list quickly when my "uncontest" closes out by next weekend. Well, my friend, it's so nice to see what you chose and WHY it is a gem for you. I just love the beautiful tribute you wrote to her in your paragraph. I hope she is smiling down on you upon seeing it. Thanks for participating in my contest.
