This haiku, Midst Miners' Relics, has the proper formatting and finds that there's gold in them there trees, though the chances of the hard stuff anywhere else is more likely found in the past.

Hi Lisa,
There sure is gold in these hills. I like the pun of miners find gold
and the leaves turning gold.
Good luck in the contest
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a good week.

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line
says it all! I like how this author led up to the last line. I pondered on
this line and feel anything is possible. The artwork is perfect and goes
well with the theme and words of this poem.
Hope you having a great day!....Maria

Good morning, Lisa!
Indeed, one can find "still gold in the hills."
Not too many poplars in northern Michigan, but where our son and daughter-in-law live in Colorado, they set the hills ablaze with gold in the autumn months.
Creative and filled with beautiful imagery!

Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!

You have noted it before--our minds think alike. I saw that artwork and knew that you had to do something with gold in the hills. The photo simply begged for it, and you did not disappoint. It is not trite when you use the line for a new purpose. Despite how man is destroying the beauty of the land by mining, the beautiful of nature thrives.
Well done. Perfect image choice. Perfect use of the art.

Lisa,
I really like this splendid Haiku which compares golden leaves to the gold that used to be mined there. Very clever.
Good luck in the contest, Lisa!
Blessings,
Cindy

Old machinery eventually blends with nature to form an artwork all of its own as is the case here. It works a bit like our ancient castles fallinto ruination and there is no reason why it shouldn't, after all, rust is only gold without the glittter and every relic tells a story.
