In response to Colleen’s weekly poetry challenge Autumn & Leaves. But this time there is a twist. We are allowed only to use the synonyms of the prompt words. I’ve written a haiku and tanka this time.

Haiku
The crisp gust of fall
drifts the blades from a rustle
to a twirling dance
Tanka
Browns, reds and yellows
a carpet of vibrant fronds
scatter lazily
compose a lyrical theme
swaying to the fall rhythm.
Beautiful Haiku and Tanka with the breathtaking picture of a wonderful fall, Radhika. Awesome and marvelous words.

Lovely! In India we do not exactly have this season but we do see the changing colors of the leaves and bare trees before new makes way for the old. Lovely, Radhika.
