Contrasting Imagery of the green leaf versus the season
Top marks for this touching poem and to my favourite as well
A pair of green leaves clinging on to a brown branch, trying to survive the fall. Beautiful haiku
M.J., I like your interpretation even better than mine own. And now that the US election has come and gone, mine is no longer appropriate. Yours, however, is dead-on!
Five stars for this amazing haiku, MJ! Best one I've seen for quite some time. Brilliant final line!
2) green leaves = Harris; frail brown branch = Trump; autumn = fall (of Trump) ! ! !
Brilliant observation, Richard. Now you have me thinking that one leaf is The Don, the other Kamala Perhaps that frail branch is the nation?
Exquisite, perfect and timely imagery for the US election.
How very cleverly, originally, beautifully and poetically well put. Extraordinary brevity that holds so very much poetic feeling and genius!
Survive until November but die in one cold winter
Thanks for reading, Soul!
