This is a clever and creative poem, I can see all the bugs partying below the leaf. It is a happy sight. Bugs October fest is a perfect last line that fits the first two lines. Excellent haiku form.

Haha...I love your subtle humor, Gypsy. I could picture all those tiny insects, hoisting their tiny beer steins high into the air (with multiple legs, of course), drinking their tiny bug beers...

Eloquent wording in your first line, nicely connected grammatically to your second. The syllabic count is on the money, and the color choices scream, FALL IS HERE!

Excellent haiku. Very well done.

Excellent Nature Haiku! The author's words are creative,
descriptive and created a vision for the reader. The poem flows
and connects well. The poem's background color adds
attractiveness to this poem.

bugs' October fest

wonderful evocation!

They are so busy, busy there
burrowing in - preparing
for winter's long sleep.
A final haves party - a festival
for celebration
before hibernation takes them :-)

This is excellent. Looks to me like you've met all the requirements. The two grammatically connected lines give us two vivid concrete images in juxtaposition, as a good haiku should. Your satori line is very clever.

Good luck in the contest!

Best,
Lena

this is an excellent write, mystery writer, I love the satori line on this one, great imagery presented, just worried about you promoting it for more than the maximum 52 cents. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

    Hello, yes, I was not suppose to promote for more than 52 cents. I read it wrong and I thought it was minimum 52 cents. It will probably get disqualified, although, Domino, the writer that created this contest knows what happened and he didn't say it was disqualified. Oh well! I thank you for the awesome review. :)
