Indeed you painted a picture, in my mind, I saw a child jumping into a pile of leaves. Hopefully in a park and not one someone raked up. Great entry so far yours is the best.

A lovely poem which brings the scene to vivid life. Are you In Advanced Editing? You will need to be, I think, for choice of font and size. Sometimes for unknown reasons, it drops back to Standard Editing. Nevertheless your presentation is very pleasing. Best wishes for your entry.

I do use advanced editing & I can open font & size, but the scroll bar on the side doesn't appear for me to move it past the first few selections. I've tried shifting screen percentage which sometimes works in other sites, but I can't fix it.Thanks so much for the review!

I enjoyed reading your nature Haiku. I wouldn't worry about the formatting difficulties you experienced. Your poem alone is impressive without any of that. Thanks for sharing and wishing you all the best in this contest.

Love jumping and diving in those leave piles!
You 2nd line is hard to read. Can you use a darker font.
I really like this and no picture necessary. I can view the whole thing.
Well done and good luck

Thanks so much! I was trying to use leaf colors since we couldn't use a picture, but I'll see if there's anything darker.

This haiku worked well without a picture. You clearly got your point across, and the colors of the font helped illustrate. You also got the syllable count right. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

This 5-7-5, Cannonball, has the proper word count and bears witness to the joyful jumping into the raked pile of fallen leaves out there in the front yard.

I remember watching my grandchildren go crazy when the leaves were raked and piled high, diving or, as you say, "cannonballing" into them. Of course, they all had to be raked again. Good job!
