yellow maple leaf
following path to winter
waiting for no one
Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #103 The Quest for a New Masterpiece Continues … The Start of Autumn asks us to create a gem of a haiku about autumn.
I decided to start with two of my own haiku to create a fusion haiku.
Here are the original haiku:
changes happening
first yellow leaf on maple
autumn upon us
quiet forest path
dry leaves stirred up by my feet
centipede scurries

That’s a fabulous idea, to create a fusion haiku from two of your own original haiku, which were masterpieces to start with! I love the idea of the yellow maple leaf going at its own pace towards winter, turning red on the way.

Great encouragement for Fall to COME ON!!! (Seems to need a nudge this year, at least in Texas.)
Love the image, too.
