October (Haiku)

I liked this haiku because when I read it, it created a wonderful image
The leaves falling rapidly just as a waterfall, there are some waterfalls that fall really fast and the leaves cascading... sort of like not at the same time, each leaf dispersed in the air while all together forming a waterfall.

I like the use of sodden -- because it means saturated with liquid, and I connect that to the word cascade, so I thought it was a good choice of words.. Also I could picture the leaves piling up and later on adhering to the ground.

Autumn arrived.. so true. The period where leaves fall but also the period of realization.

This poem is inspirational, Hannah. Well done

Coool :)

It certainly has and we never had much of a summer so it seemed to come around quick!

You have described it well and made a beautiful haiku, well done.

Beautifully penned. Felt a slight chill, upon reading your words. Loved the vivid imagery.

I like how the whole piece seems as though it has flowed naturally from pen to paper. Not one aspect of it appears to be forced, which in challenges can sometimes come across, especially in shorter writes. So, well done for that firstly.

I loved the imagery you have created with this piece. Such tranquil images. Also the images are clear and instant which is surprising because Haikus don't really allow much space for detail and yet you have achieved it.

Personally, I found it really strange reading this, simply because I live in the Southern hemisphere and October is classified as being Spring instead of Autumn. But apart from that, this piece really was beautiful, both because of its simplicity and beautiful content.

As for your title, it's not something that really would draw my attention usually, only that I know and love your writing did I really read this. But in saying that, it does fit with the content because it is about the said month as well as because of the poem's innocent simplicity. So I don't know, perhaps I'm simply being picky. haha.

Overall, this was such a great little write. Personally I prefer your longer works better, but this was still a beautiful write about nature. Well done.
