The miriad of colors
In a fall scene...your poem made me think of all the fallen leaves and how each has its own distinct color...even though they may share a specific shade...much like gemstones. It is a shame the beauty only lasts a short while. Great haiku!

I saved a leaf. It was from
I saved a leaf. It was from The War of the Worlds theatre production we went to see in Bournemouth a long time ago now.
Part of the set was to release paper leaves from the ceiling as Forever Autumn was sung on stage.
I still have the leaf, it brings back great memories and your poem, I take as a tribute to me ha ha.
Thank you, it stirred me and I could write an essay on this. Ruby :) xx
