Excellent

Your description of the leaves is onomatopoetic. For those as fortunate as we, they may reminisce about their feelings walking in crinkled leaves. I remember my love of the sound of my kicking the leaves just in front of the school yard. It was such a comfort after having had a bullying-filled day. Thank you.

Liz,

THANKS for your delightful review for this contest entry. As a child, I recall jumping into the piles of leaves that had been just raked and likely throwing them into the air to my Dad?s chagrin. Hopefully those bullying-filled days are now in your past life.

Thank you. I am thoroughly enjoying my life, bully-free. We used to pile the leavers very high and jump off the porch roof. Whaaat? It's hard to believe now. People would had child protective services there for that and many other kid-fun reasons.

I like how you begin your haiku with a panorama shot of a "pinkish sunrise." Then your camera gives us a close-up of "the fresh morning dew" on scattered "crinkled leaves."
Nicely done! Rod

I love this. You share a beautiful scene of fall with this Haiku. I love that you share so many senses from sound to color to the feel of the dew. Very impressive with just three lines!

Thanks Michael for your generous comments !

So pleased that you sensed my meaning for this Haiku posting. Three lines is my typical style in a 5-7-5 syllable format.
