A Season of Change
~
earthy smells
delightful colors
a time for letting go
slowing and savoring
decay lingers in the air
the leaves are falling
nature is storing her energy
Joe Biden is President-Elect
hope is in the air

Reading this felt as tranquil as watching falling leaves Brad, as if any worries just faded away, and I was left with that sense of hope at the end.

I like your photos and words – and just a note
– was there a reason you included the article “the”?
the leaves are falling

Thanks Yvette. I prefer the simplicity of leaving extra words and articles out too, but in this case it was needed as the 5th syllable for my haiku.
