There's A Hole in My Bucket
It’s a well-known fact that Liza Dufresne was always the brains in the family. She was the one who always came up with the brilliant schemes the Dufresne kids carried out when they were younger. Like when they tricked Mrs. Claybourn into paying for a trip to Disney World. Liza convinced her that their parents had been kidnapped and were being held for ransom for the total price of three tickets. In reality, they were away on a weekend getaway for their anniversary. When they returned, Liza told the Claybourns that they did not like to talk about the ordeal. Their parents never found out how they got the money. Mrs. Claybourn never found out that the Dufresne parents were never really in any danger.

Love this - visuals are great - we loved to play in piles of leaves when young.
I too like the line, “Nature's confetti a muse” a lot. 😊
Oooo, I love the idea of the leaves being nature's confetti. Loved your poem!
brings the joy of leaves to the forefront!
Wow! impressive!!!
Absolutely love it. My kids have lost a shoe or two in the leaf piles
This one made me smile <3
This is very original and funny, with a vivid picture of fun and everyday life, I really like how you managed to represent so much in so few words.
All of your leafy haikus were well-wrought, but I like this one best! "Nature's confetti" is such an endearing way to think of falling leaves, and your poem here does remind me of scraping those piles together just for the pleasure of jumping into them!
Loved this! A whole scene in such a little bite
