Golden leaf spirals
one breath of wind, then silence
on the empty branch

I feel like the silence on the empty branch is just as beautiful as the golden leaf that fell. Gorgeous haiku.
This is beautiful, Tim! I wish you all the best with this challenge! But now, how can I enter? haha
Lovely
So much can be heard in that silence. Nice work, Tim!🍂
