fragments of sunset
on a warm blustery breeze
sudden fall of leaves

My response to Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #103 The Quest for A New Masterpiece Continues: Start Of Autumn, also shared with Poets United at the Poetry Pantry
I’m glad to be back for this weekend’s meditation, in which our challenge is to create a new masterpiece with the theme ‘start of autumn’.

A very full and rich haiku! Easy to write 17 syllables, very hard to say enough with them but you do. Its impregnate with such gold, even if the auguries are still warm & summery.
