very well done Raul1.
while in three lines, you give the reader a visual of the Autumn falling leaves.
We have reached our peak and the leaves here are falling heavily and with the wind the last few days your poem comes to life.
I enjoyed this vision.
Good luck in the contest.
Regards
Mary

Great Haiku poem! You bring forward a reality that sometimes our daily routines blinds our sight! Short, nice and direct: It has all the ingredients for success. The picture choice is very colorful and depicts nicely your writing! Good Luck in the contest!

You´re welcome, Raul1!
Despite you have received several prizes, you continue running and that´s very "overcomer"!

Good luck!

Have a great week!

I have a lot of respect for anyone who writes a classic haiku. It's not easy and I understand the judges can be pretty nitpicky in following classic rules. My concern here, though, Raul, is the syllable count in the last line. Are you considering "howls" as two syllables? If the judges and you do, then no problem. I only hear one syllable. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks! The host of this contest explained that it can be 17 syllables or less. It is correct. Thanks for the help. I'm glad you enjoyed my poem!

reply by the author on 29-Oct-2020

It is only one syllable is what I am considering.

reply by Jay Squires on 29-Oct-2020

And that makes it less than 17 syllables, which makes it acceptable by the host. Good luck, my friend!
