Last week she went on a journey, visiting special people who touched her soul with lasting imprints on her heart…now and forever.
last days of autumn
taking in final colours
imitating life
last days of autumn
crossing to the other side
between seasons
taking in final colours
hanging on to lifeless limbs,
Ah! those tawny leaves
imitating life
poinsettia on a gravesite
honouring the dead

Inspired by Georgia’s breathtaking troiku
Carpe Diem Special #185 Georgia’s first “Autumn Reflections”
autumn reflections
as I cross the sun warmed bridge
geese fly south
autumn reflections
old man contemplates winter
under the hot sun
as I cross the sun warmed bridge
ducks laugh downstream
– diving for trout
geese fly south
the noisy swallows have gone
but the blackbird sings
Tournesol dans un Jardin 
Last days of Autumn certainly is intriguing, Cheryll

Ac rich, complex, colourful and personal tapestry – which a lot went into and a lot can be taken out of. Perhaps a nice therapeutic dose for writer too…

Thanks so much, Hamish, I did have those images in mind as I wrote my troika making it so much easier to create my haiga. Yes, I think you are right, it was a therapeutic process as well. Have not had much time or mindset to write as much lately, rather moved to processing things.

Thanks so much, Melinda. I love when I can build on writing a Troiku and each image can flow so I can create my haiga within the troika. It was fun, time consuming but so very therapeutic…win/win:)
