Unknown bard, the presentation of this contest entry's verbiage married to
the picture of earth tone leaves and ambiguous connotation gives the post
a nice flexibility. Good luck in the contest. teafor2

A great senryu! And it's those quiet autumn moments that can bring up a memory from the past. I like the word play of the "leaves bare memories" as the "leaves" fall from the trees and the revealing/baring the memories of the past.

Ciao !

I love autumn, was curious and opened the page.

Nice idea to compare our memories to falling autumn leaves.

The opening line is impactful too.

PS. I would have had more autumn leaves still hanging on the tree.

Hello author, your poem is beautifully stated and has good sensory appeal.

Of special note:
leaves bare memories

(when someone's voice gets inside your head, there's no getting it out.
It's there forevermore.)

Lovely, perfect photo choice. Well done. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck.

Oh, what a pretty presentation for a very clever Senryu! I enjoyed this immensely, and I loved the inference that the leaves would have memories like a human would have -- nicely done! Bet this is the winner!

Very clever. Vivid imagery, a little entendre, and that third line... I reread this over and over with different inflections and it completely changes the vibe each time. Excellent work!

A beautiful example of a Senryu poem. The artwork you chose to accompany the poem is reflective of how the past leaves us with bare memories the same way an autumn breeze leaves the tree bare in its wake. Nicely written.

This is a well-crafted poem. Your poem reads and flows well. Your 5-7-5 syllable count is in good order for this writing prompt. Great personification in the last line. Nice poem.
