a poem about mossflower [Fall Extravaganza]

[a crumb]

for this fall, a set of haiku. i hadn't written any poems for a few years, but i had fun.
and i'll credit matthias for the haiku idea, which i hadn't tried before.
----


fall is here, my friends
the woods are now red and gold
streams flow, on and on

mossflower is home
mice, squirrels, otters, voles, shrews, hares...
an abode for us

caressingly stroll
sycamores, elms, pines, oaks, firs
always new beauty

firm oaks' boughs o'erhead
thick boughs of many seasons
sturdy ground here now

slender pines tower
sun-lit needles underfoot
gray bark its own sight

elms, shining, greet us
in a leaf, a score of worlds
oval, bent, veined, free

beyond forestline
redwall, home amidst our home
glowing, amidst fall

Glad I could inspire you.

Nice work, crumb! It has a nice sense of imagery to it

[Rosie Willowwater]

crumb, this is awesome! You can definitely see your character behind the words and I think that is a wonderful thing in writing, and it makes it really unique.
