Leaves fall in Autumn
fertilizing earth below.
Spring welcomes new leaves.
Writer's notes. It's a beautiful day in North Texas. The Sun is shining brightly. The air is cool and crisp. The trees are naked and beautiful. While observing the trees, was reminded of the plant cycle.
This poem is entered into the Time Capsule Haiku challenge.
According to Vocal, "For this challenge, we are asking you to capture how a haiku can be a vehicle to represent a period of time or express the feeling of time."
Nature represents and expresses time perfectly.
Thank you for reading. If you like this nature haiku poem, you might like this one found here.

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
