This is pleasant. I do like your creepy stuff better. You have a knack for making my skin crawl. Thank you so much. I really really enjoy it when a chill goes up my spine. You have a real gift there. Karen

I love that picture. Did you adjust the color on your computer? Autumn is almost always depicted with orange and yellow. The recognition of autumn red here truly makes this a red carpet affair both in color and in celebratory splendor.

Hello Neonewman
Very nice picture of the season of Autumn
and how you brought out the beauty of the fallen crimson leaves as a carpet.

I enjoyed your ensemble in red and your alliteration of "a's" to intensify your description. The final line adds to the energy of the scene. Best wishes in the 5-7-5 contest- Joan

Gorgeous little poem about the arrival of autum in all its glory and shining crimson beauty. I love how you turned it into a spectacular occasion by saying 'red carpet affair' because the leaves do carpet the floor in a very grandiose way and it's simply stunning. Love the image chosen as well.

You have certainly captured the essence and color of fall, which is right around the corner. I like your poem very much because I'm a big fan of the season.I think it's a great contest entry, thanks for sharing.

Good job. A striking image, yet I did not feel the image overpowered the words, which should never let happen. Your words were beautifully rendered for the imagery you gave. Strong.
Good luck with it.
My best wishes.

A clever colourful write about autumn's red carpet and we have yet experience this here, but it is on its way! Hopefully I will have left before the leaves fall, I wish you luck with the contest, love Dolly x

Although this is entered as a 5-7-5 it is, as far as I can see a full blooded haiku. The subject is nature, it is seasonal and follows the grammatical rules of the form. Further,more the final line is an excellent satori offering a different and enlightened view of events earlier described. Very nice indeed.
