Alas, poor tomatoes. My big tomatoes are still green! Next time I'm only planting cherry tomatoes!
I liked your personification of September tripping and falling and your wordplay about "Fall".

    I remember trying to grow tomatoes in my living room lol I had a huge window with lots of sunlight. After a while, my whole house smelled like tomatoes, a bad idea.

    Thank you, Big Sister. I hope you are having a great weekend .. fun and not too busy.

    love,

Falling face first into Autumn, brilliant play on words, Gypsy. This is why I enjoy reading your work. You made dead tomato vines seem violent.
God bless,
Steve

Yes it does doesn't it. What I mean that the end of September trips and falls over dead tomato vines. What a wonderful way to put it. Un abrazo y besitos, Ulla xcx

It's cooler here in Texas but still basically in the throes of summer. Summer will probably last until the end of November or beginning of December. Once in a while, Mother Nature will surprise us. LOL Your poem and presentation are wonderful.

Beautiful poem, I especially like how you cleverly use the word Fall to convey a double meaning. Thank you for posting this creative Haiku poem. Hope you have a good evening. God blessings.

It's beautiful and original, very creatively written. Can you adjust it to seventeen syllables? Maybe "over dead tomato vines" for the third line? The imagery is vivid. I like the play on words for "fall".

    The 5-7-5 form is not mandatory with English language haiku, just 17 syllables or less. Over packing a haiku is not recommended, the rule of thumb is to be as succint as possible.

    Thank you very much, Wendy 😊

Love the imagery of the 2nd line especially with the play on Falls. And to include those dying tomato vines created still more enjoyable and colourful imagery. I think however you might have exceeded the syllable count by one? Thanks for sharing Debbie

LOL! Love your employment of the haiku here, Gypsy -- that last line catches just as it should... Thanx for sharing, my lady, and have a great upcoming weekend! ;) Yvette
