Autumn flings down leaves
by Sanku

Excellent autumn haiku. Good syllables count and connection between lines. The satori and kigo are good. The black font over orange is hard to read. I would use a light font.

    Sorry for that.I will bear that in mind.Thank you for reviewing .I have a doubt
    Can I put a comma in the middle of a line? is that allowed?
    I wanted to put comma after 'detached'.

    Autumn flings red leaves
    to fall after their last dance-
    detached trees stand still

    It's perfect the way it is. No comma. In haiku we use little punctuation and if it happens is at the end of a line, like you have a dash after (dance--)

Glorious and powerful--autumn flings!--a fresh take on fall--clever twist of the usual imagery--startling conception of the tree as detached vs the leaves being detached from it.

Sugg: Flings [down=>(superfluous) choose a vivid or evocative adjective to enhance the imagery, e.g. flings red leaves

What an unusual way to describe autumn. I enjoyed it. We don't have wonderful autumn season. I have experienced it during my stay in Germany and my visits to USA where my son is living. One suggestion. Can you make the fonts larger (28 font size) and centre them for better visual impact? Cheers!

    It is really simple. Don;t get overawed by those button. Go to editing. Highlight the poem. Choose the larger font size. Then there are 4 small horizontal bars. Click on align centre. You are done.! try it out on your old poem first. Good luck!

Your haiku makes me feel sad. it suggests the leaves' absence has impacted on the trees to have a sense of detachment - an emotional stillness after the dancing flurry of autumn.

I enjoyed your haiku entry. Great job on its style. Your art choice is perfect though your words paint their own image.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Autumn is my favorite season. Your poem offers an interesting take on it. I'm sure the trees are lonely after the leaves leave. How sad.
