You're getting really good with these haikus.
They are much harder to write than it may seem, being so short, but that's exactly the challenge, isn't it? Well done.

Awww. thanks a lot. They are not that easy to write at all. Not if they are to make any sense and being poetic. I enjoy the challenge though. All the best. Ulla:)))

The image speaks for itself and the poem at the same time. So beautifully striking. A bouquet of art. In such short words, you spelt it all. The whole story of fallen leaves. Excellent. With love, Ella

Excellent

This haiku, Crimson Leaves, has an interesting set up and creates images of death and dying. Scarlet ... shadows ... twilight ... all work together to deliver this closing of the metaphorical day. Nice.

Exceptional

The reader can not only read the words here but also feel the dank, darkening close of day enhanced by some cool 'c' sounds to oil the poetic wheels

Very beautiful. I love your strong, vivid imagery I can see and feel the coldness of not only the wt ground but twilight:

"crimson leaves
cast dark shadows on cold wet ground
twilight"

Your poem is peaceful and meditative.

Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed your haiku. Good job on its style. Your art choice is perfect. Your words flow well & connect as required by the form.

I would make the background a bit lighter. The words are hard to read & I don't need glasses. The picture is huge, too. I would make it a bit smaller or the words a bit larger. I like the play on the word twilight.

Thanks for sharing. Jan

A very well-written haiku for Autumn. Crimson leaves are synonym with Autumn and leaves a a dark shadow on the cold wet ground.

Comment from Ric Myworld

Excellent

All of these haiku poems just keep getting better and better, yours especially. When I first started reading them, I didn't even consider the forms as being real poetry. Now, many times they say more than most, and with so few words. Great job. :-)

Awwww. Ric, thank you so much. This is high praise. How pleased I am. I'm very taken with the form. But having been in Japan so much I'm fascinated with their culture. All the best. Ulla :))
