Another fine poem, Gypsy----and we made it through the summer heat, wasn't too bad here but from what I read, not so the rest of the country. Getting worse every year

Another lovely haiku Gypsy. Well done. Love the metaphorical thread here, from 'crisp' to 'needles' and then to the tapestry, which is sown by needles! Excellently clever.

Of course you're heading into autumn now, as we are deep in spring with all its variableness, beautiful one day, cold and wet the next, beautifully written Gypsy, blessings Roy

What a lovely haiku, Dolly - rich in sound, with 'crisp' to wake us up with its light explosion, then the assonance of 'tree needles' and finally the satori with the key word 'tapestry'.

That is a superb 4-6-5 and must stand a good chance in the competition.
I really enjoyed the originality.
Paul

Hi Gypsy - I think this was a genuine mistake with the messaging system - but many apologies for my mistake.
Makes no difference to my appreciation of the poem, though - which was superb.
Love from Paul

Crisp poem, the picture makes me think of Girl Scout campfires, my old home's fireplace, walking in the forest, and hearing the crunch of old leaves, pine cones, and other detritus. The poetry is wonderful as always.

What an artful presentation. I find the sepia and gold tones rich and with your fine haiku this is a terrific read today.

Very well done, indeed. :)

I love poems about fall/ changing leaves/ autumn changes. This was a wonderful seasonal piece. I even felt a cool breeze. Very soothing poem. Thank you for sharing. Gretchen

I once had a job taking adults with disabilities to do lawnwork. I know I'm crazy, but I love the sight and smell of pine needles on the ground. That photo and your descriptives made for a very nice Autumnal haiku!

Well Gypsy, I am not good at understanding poetry which is why I don't review many poems.

This one I enjoyed and was able to relate to it.
Thank you for the post.
