amber leaves whisper,
caught between earth and grey sky—
as summer dissolves.

ROCK*s EDGY WINNERS
See that rainbow? Let there be lots of gold, good health and peace for us all. ROCK is so pleased with your entries; it was tough so I called in a PhD. of Library Science from New Zealand, a well read and published professor of poetry from Canada as well as some random/anonymous readers from L.A., NYC, USA and all the way to Lisbon, London plus other EU friends from all walks of life. I, of course, made the final decision which was extremely difficult. I wish I had the pot of gold to give you all a decent tip!

Excellent haiku ♦️♦️♦️♦️
Wow! Nice flow and great imagery!!!
I love the sense of quiet, stillness conveyed by this! made me gasp and smile! another great entry!
I also like the summer dissolving, but I love the imagery that is evoked by "amber." Amber traffic lights demand slowing before a stop. Ancient insects are often found frozen in time, encased in amber. To me, autumn has always meant nature slowing down before the long pause of winter.
Powerful imagery and nicely done
Ooh "summer dissolves" that's an awesome line!
Oh wow, as summer dissolves, I especially loved that!
Gorgeous!

Beautiful images
Exactly, a taste of autumn and winter soon coming.
So peaceful ❤️
