Haiku # 12: Sweeping them up

Piles of leaves to be swept or raked!

Sweeping them up,

And then not sweeping them up -

Fallen leaves.


Haiku by Taigi, 1709-1771

C'est une très belle composition aux belles couleurs de l'automne. C'est superbement imaginé.

The same here. I have the feeling, the more you sweep the more will come.

A wonderful, kaleidoscope of colours! Leave them there longer to admire them.

Thank you for bringing back cherished memories from my childhood when I lived in Cleveland, Ohio. Living in Florida today has its perks, but I will always miss those fall leaves! Captivating photo!
