Thank you for honoring our veterans, and celebrating the Beaver Moon, haijin! Congratulations to last week’s contributors:

Powered by… Mister Linky’s Magical Widgets.

Looking ahead:

Mid-november. Many trees have shed their canopies. Our garden beds have filled with fallen leaves. Our maples have become sleeping sentinels.

What better time could their be for the kigo fallen leves (ochiba)?

This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to fallen leaves (ochiba)?

As always:

Here’s how the challenge works:

1. write the haikai poem of your choice.
2. post the link of your post to Mister Linky.
3. pingback by posting the link to the challenge on your site.
4. read and comment on other contributors’ posts.

Best of luck with any Autumn cleanup you do, haijin!
