This is another great modern haiku you have penned. You used great descriptive words and very nice imagery from the art work you chose. I love the quote from Mother Teresa. Thank you for sharing. love and blessings, Teri

Thank you for sharing this Modern Haiku with us. Yes, the beautiful twirling leaves are a sight to behold. I have the need to take a trip back to the Midwest to see these gorgeous leaves. I'll need to check with my kids and see when the leaves are going to be at their peak.

Wow! 15 syllables of vivid imagery. I especially liked:

as veil falls

(I can see all the crimson leaves falling, but also, the veil falling is symbolic of death--the death of Autumn and the mourning of Winter. I do mourn during winter--ugh. I hate it, and I hate snow--the "other" four-letter word. Just sharing - lol. Autumn is my favorite time of the year, and we're getting short-changed this year. Hurricane season is extra-early, oh joy.)

Beautiful presentation. I love that photo. Where did you get it?
Well done. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing.

    Thank you very much, Margaret. My granddaughter lives in Florida and works for Disney. She is okay but the Ian storm was pretty scary.

    I love autumn too. The leaves colors are beautiful. In southern California we don't get snow. It has been really hot.

    Winter is depressing. My grandmother said old people die in winter, she died in November... years ago. It's the lack of a sunlight that makes most people depressed.

    Thank you very much for the review and kind feedback.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I love this poem because the words blend together perfectly and it makes me think about romance and love on a beautiful day. I love the choice of words the writer chose together such as: flirty, autumn breeze, scarlet leaves, and veil falls. I love how the writer paints a vivid picture that exudes into a beautiful painting, great job.
beautiful

Love your beautiful description autumn breeze that is showing off with those bright red leaves! I guess the "veils falling" are the trees undressing? Great haiku. (You might want to change the description to 5/7/3)

    I was going to have the salome's dance of seven veils for Herod in modern stage, as you know, based on Matthew 14 ... story of the Feast of Herod and the execution of John the Baptist. but I thought many people would not get the reference.

    Thank you, big sister! Love you.

    That would be very artistic. The Matthew chapter only talks about Salome's dance but not of the seven veils. I guess some creative storyteller added that for effect. 😊
reply by the author on 02-Oct-2022
    Yes, the "dance of seven veils" originated with Wilde's 1891 play Salome.

    Ah. Good to know! I also have seen many great paintings of the way artists viewed that scene!

    Thank you very much, AP, I missed that syllables count. I had 5-7-5 but I changed my mind and forgot to change the subtitle. Have a great weekend!
