For Ronovan’s haiku challenge. A tanka rather than a haiku this week.

A leaf’s destiny,
burst bud, tender green unfurled,
flies red in the wind.
Hear the wild voice of autumn,
riotous among the flames.

Your poem paints a beautiful picture the life journey of a leaf. When the leaves turn in fall, I’ll thin of “the wild voice of autumn, riotous among the flames.” Lovely imagery throughout.
Thanks, Michelle 🙂 I always think that the journey of a leaf is very like our own.
