HAIKU
branches bid goodbye
silently drop yellow leaves
moon reflects colours
KIMO
how many seasons rolled off the earth’s edge
breathing unheard stories; pale
light invites life’s evening
Evenings
branches bid goodbye
silently drop yellow leaves
moon reflects colours
how many seasons rolled off the earth’s edge
breathing unheard stories; pale
light invites life’s evening
“Breathing unheard stories” – What an incredible image! Bravo!

That line in your Kimo about seasons rolling off the earth’s edge breathing unheard stories is so deeply moving! Knowing you wrote it with the quiet wisdom of aging in mind gives those verses even more weight and beauty. Excellent work, Reena!

Both forms are very well evoked and crafted. I esp liked, the second line of your Kimo, “breathing unheard stories; pale” Wonderful imagery, Reena! 💛

The idea was to talk about stories (wisdom) nobody cares to listen to. Given the word limit, it turned out different.

Lovely verses, Reena. Your haiku express the essence of fall beautifully, and I love your kimo. I’m so glad you used this poetry form, which I forgot about. Thank you for the reminder, and thank you for joining in. 💖

Reena your use of the metaphor of seasons rolling off the earth’s edge beautifully captures the quiet, melancholic beauty of passing time and aging🙌
