A beautiful reminder of what will soon be upon us..the brilliant colors of autumn leaves... You certainly painted the picture bright with your sparkling colors of emerald and gold. Matches the photo well.
Smiles, Carol

The eternal cycle of change, and I like how you intertwined the seasons with the history aspect, both human history and natural history. Great image and a nice original thought. Well presented. Best wishes for the contest.

A beautiful presentation for the Haiku competition. The colors are popping and certainly show off a lovely fall landscape. And your poem decribes the scene perfectly. Good show!

I like it! And those "kingdoms" could be human, animal, or plant. The seasons have their cycles and everything has to follow. I like how you used gems in the first line for the leaf changes. I wonder if you changed that first like because the title haiku (here it is again) could be:
haiku (emerald to gold) but you may be intentionally avoiding that title convention.

    I changed it. I do so few actual haiku.

What a beautiful picture. I like the words you used: emerald to gold. The poem is written well. Good luck in the contest. Kingdoms fall and rise again is surely true.

I love this one. I always base a "true haiku" on whether or not it imbues me with a sense of peace, and this beauty of yours absolutely did. I love Autumn, and you have captured its essence here, both with your words as well as this oh-so gorgeous artwork. Well done! xoxo

My favorite time of the year but it always passes way too fast! Pumpkin spice latte's, drives thru the foliage, backyard fire pits, and Halloween! Beautiful poem that has me excited for it all.
