fire

golden ashes fall
brewing autumn's arrival
spiced with crackling leaves

I decided to dabble in your realm, Tim. This is a revised version of an old faux-haiku I wrote a long time ago, now following the appropriate syllabic structure and with a new thematic relevance courtesy of you.

Yay! Haiku!

Edward, I really like this poem. It is so rich with color and imagery...and in such a small amount of space. Haiku!

Also, the title functions nicely as a metaphor and plays well into the double meaning: autuamn leaves and/or fire (which also has resonance with autumn).

Beautiful...

The metaphor is strong here and I can fully "hear" the leaves. I like the word "brewing," it function well and also reminds me of fall/autumn... witch's brew, soup, hibernating emotions, death...
and "spiced" works with this too.
