An interesting poem about death with an appropriate black background.

Death in the garden is described in three forms.

Constructed with a bewildering number of rules I'll leave for others to comment on.

Three dark (I like it) excellent haiku, 'G' (I accessed this from your portfolio).

Top subtle alliteration in each.

All top satoris which make the reader think, and are all apt. to the preceding lines.

I particularly like the subtle second, as crows are associated with being scary - their '"caws" certainly sound it.

Excellent entry that deserves to contend, IMO.

Good luck and best wishes, Ray

The rules are quite specific about words starting with same letter, so you might want to edit to conform, otherwise the sponsor might get your entry disqualified.

This rating does not count towards story rating or author rank.
The highest and the lowest rating are not included in calculations.

    The rules say two words with same letters and two other words with different letter.

Good syllable count and your suite sticks to the theme, in essence, of dead leaves. Your second though is more of a senryu than a haiku. Fruit fly market- there will be a lot of those on Halloween. Good luck in the contest.

I like these haiku clusters. More than death, they make me think of late autumn, several days following Halloween. Then again, some view autumn as a time of death. I must say a coffin sale is a bit creepy. Don't know that I've ever seen one .

    Hello, the coffin haiku is suppose to be a joke but maybe in bad taste, I may change that one. Thank you very much. :)

    NO, don't change it...Death is creepy, after all. It has a surprise element to it because it is unusual.

Sadly winter is coming but for now we need to enjoy the cooler weather and pretty colors. I went for a walk before all the football started today, I think I walked like three miles because it was so nice and I'm thinking about going for another just because in a couple weeks it's gonna be cold and I won't want to. Great job friend

Yes. There were no punches left in the air with this one. The title of the competition was truly embedded.
Lyrically sound in terms of your thesis.
Well done.
Best wishes,
RGstar
