Hi, Jeannie,

I like the simplicity of this, as well as the great haiku.
Crumpled oak leaves and sweater weather is == cool!

Well done. Best of luck in the contest.

Cheers & Blessings

A good haiku with two good interconnecting lines 1 and 2 followed by a perfect satori and the whole message makes good sense. Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy

I very much like your haiku, Karyn!

You've made good use of alliteration with crumpled and cover. Your satori is a perfect and a surprising follow-up to your first two lines.

Thank you for sharing. Alana

Great entry for the contest:) The leaves are great compost for the garden but it certainly does mean sweaters for us as well. Good luck.

Comment from Val Crisson

Excellent

Very clever and imaginative entry for this contest. I love the use of fall as your season, and the satori line "sweater weather" is very original and catchy.

Exceptional

That's really cool. I'm not expert, but it seems the concept of haiku has somewhat gone out the window here. You, however, continue to nail it. This didn't make me laugh, cry, or say, "Holy ****!" but the professionalism and perfection in regards to what I'm viewing in my mind based on your words is the reason for the six. Great.

crumpled oak leaves
cover lifeless flower garden
sweater weather

Superb satori! Love the parallel of the oak-leaves acting like a sweater or blanket and the satori line linking people and nature in that clever way. Outstanding word economy without a single wasted syllable. Superb alliteration of C and L as well as consonance of F with a fine harmonic of cousin-sound V. also consonance of W in the closing line. The poem sounds wonderful read aloud--like tongue candy.

Big bravo--a strong contender for my vote.

Warmly, rd

Thanks, sweet Karyn. :-)) My pleasure

Good choice to refrain from using art work, your words conjure up images of the season to the mind. You were able to convey the sights and smells in merely 16 syllables with no wasted words. Avoiding color in the presentation (I would have been tempted to do so) again allowed the poem to stand on its own.
Well done II, best wishes in the contest.

Hi Karyn,

Your Haiku poem is very good. Yup winter and cold weather is on it's way. It has been sweater whether in MN for quite awhile now. Some say this winter will be the worst one yet, others say it will be mild. I guess I just have to wait to see who's right.

Comment from Capricorn30

Excellent

Autumn brings many changes, both for nature and man;
We walk along fallen leaves scattered about, as they crackle with each step;
We retrieve warmer clothing from beneath summer's attire;
I was walking down a street the other day and the leaves skipped out in front and around me; I was wearing a fleecy sweatshirt; easy for me to relate to your well-crafted poem on this colorful season.
Excellent!
