Last Fall
#1 of 6 : For the falling leaves challenge. I took this particular photo before these challenges were announced. Boy was I relieved when I went to check my phone to see that they weren’t deleted. I also wrote all my haikus before reading others. So now I can run around the haikus garden and see what you’ve all come up with. 😘💕 Ready or not here I come!
Hands that chill. Rustled
Leaves. Paints of colours, wind beats.
Flutter. Dance. Last fall.

me, me, me
when i read back my poetry it screams “me, me, me” on my screen in bold letters and i can’t shut it up — most days, i cannot make any other words out; i want to throttle a thousand versions of the me gone by, i want to throw myself from a figurative balcony, i want to sink a sword into every pen i’ve held

This Is What I Do When People Throw Rocks At Me
Rocks have been thrown at me for a greater part of my life. Some have been small and missed hitting me. When people don't get a reaction from me, they throw bigger rocks with a better aim. Many have been hurled at me with precision over the years. For a long time, I thought my only options were to dodge them or be crushed by them.

This really makes me feel like November is around the corner.
Oh that is some nice timing really! Chance opportunity taken to snap up an emodiment of the challenge and your wonderful words. I love the short bursts in the flow. Like whispered, quickly. In my head. As Novel said, there is a strong feeling of the fleeting moment from when the leaves start to fall and are fallen. Stunning and well done on Leaderboard action!
The last line tells of fleeting things and moments. Well said.
Beautiful work CC! ☺️🫶🏾🎉

The deliberate period stops trace the movement of the leaf effectively, Caitlin.
