Autumn can be brightened so much by the colored leaves, lighting up our souls. This is a very well written 5-7-5 poem. Thank you for sharing.

Poet,
Your well-thought-of poem is beautifully written. Your wordage paints rich imagery in the readers head. The art work is stunning you used of an atumnial day.
In your 5-7-5 poem you used great alliteration with the D words.
Your satori line is very good.
I enjoyed all seventeen syllables in your 5-7-5:
"Fiery autumn leaves
Brighten up dull, dreary days
Lighting up the soul"
Comments: I wish you good luck in the Haiku writing promot contest. I would recommend your pretty poem to other readers. Keep on writing a creative pen. Nice day to you.
Missy.

Your Haiku poem, Autumn, is lovely. I really like the alliteration: dull, dreary days. I also really love the picture you have chosen to go with your poem! It is perfect!!!

This is a good three line poem with concrete imagery in the first line. However, it's not quite a haiku. Haiku should be objective; this is subjective (e.g. "dreary.") The capitalization and period are odd for haiku. Haiku do not use capitalization unless absolutely necessary--Japanese ideographs do not have the equivalent of capital letters. Also, haiku should have an incomplete nature, as they started out as parts of longer poems, so periods are never used. Were this not labeled a haiku, it would be rated much higher. Nice juxtaposition of picture and poem.
