This was beautiful I love the last line finished it perfectly :)

Nice written

I like the feel of autumn... the dried leaves, the arrival of winter and the sudden calmness in the nature... You depicted this through your haiku... Beautiful hannah... Keep writing hun(:

Although the title is rather simple it fits the poem, not only because of it discribing October, but moreso because of you focusing on that month. I know this poem was born out of a challenge, but it feels very natural to me.

I know this might be due to the language barrier, but I had almost imagined cascade as a calm movement(I do know it is not like that with waterfalls either, but their whole essence is calming to me, which led to that conclusion I guess), this explains why I thought the "rapidly" came surprising. I would almost wish for you to replace it with something more soothing because autumn seems like natures aging process and while that does happen faster than we'd wish for, things do slow down from our perspective.. I feel as though I might be confusing you.. haha :)

Anyways, the alliteration in the last word ended this Haiku well!! :)

Hannah you have penned a seriously beautiful haiku here. I think word choice is very important in haikus because you're limited so you need something to bring it to life. Here I enjoyed the leave cascading and sodden ground, really helps me visualize the season.

Well done :)

Beautifully written (:

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.

Five/Five

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

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.

Coool :)

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
