Those golden flags on maple trees were very plentiful last fall. I love to watch them turn and change colors. Your picture and poem are partners in presenting your message. I enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing. Your friend, Bob

Good Afternoon, Debbie

I enjoyed your well written haiku this evening. I
admire the word play with breeze as a noun, yet
it has the subtle verb meaning too. The satori is
excellent. It's not even Spring and now you've me
wanting for fall!

Well done!
Ray

What a lovely and very witty haiku, Debbie. The kigo is evident, the kire great and very beautiful images, grammatically connected.

Traditional haiku consist of 17 syllables (also known as morae), in three phrases of 5, 7 and 5 respectively. The theme is nature in origin. There is a Japanese and an English version.
I like the poem. Perhaps it's something I am unaware of.
3-6-3 (nature). Please let me know if I am wrong.
Thank you for sharing. Good luck and keep on writing.

    I am taking the Japanese Poetry class and they teach less than 17 syllables is fine--even desired and that there are n rules for line length. I do appreciate your comments, but that is not what I am learning in the class~Debbie

    Very interesting, This will require more research on my part. My rating is based upon what I know and what's in the dictionary. Thank you for your reply. One can never know enough. namkcirb

I can find nothing to be critical of in this haiku. 'Golden flags' is a description of the leaves that would be hard to top. A real nice poem, lovely in its simpleness.

Nice and vivid autumn picture as how all leaves in breeze indicate the existence and charm of the season that makes a wave from maple branches in a stunning golden colour in the atmosphere, so pleasing scenic stand portrayed, I liked.

What a most beautiful picture of leaves. It looks more like a painting. I loved your haiku and it did fall within its strict guide-lines. Good job.

I loved maple trees when I grew up in the midwest, IL, we have planted some down here, but so far only one has survived. I guess they don' like the TX, heat. I don't either, but I did enjoyr reading your poem.
