A pair of green leaves clinging on to a brown branch, trying to survive the fall. Beautiful haiku

Trying to survive and maybe tempting fate. Thanks so much, Geeta.

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!

2) green leaves = Harris; frail brown branch = Trump; autumn = fall (of Trump) ! ! !

How very cleverly, originally, beautifully and poetically well put. Extraordinary brevity that holds so very much poetic feeling and genius!
