Does Autumn’s Light tell
All the Truth—for surely it
Tells it brightly slant—

I like how you’ve taken some threads from Emily’s poem and woven them into your own. Lovely.

One of my favorite poems – so well slanted your way. Well done. If you are interested – I also wrote a (rather silly ) poem using the Dickinson line – as a bit of a joke: http://manicddaily.wordpress.com/2012/08/27/poets-room-of-ones-own/

Oh, I love your poem, K. I got several of the lines, but I’m glad you explained because I wouldn’t have gotten a few.

You are so right. I am a haiku novice, and this month has been great practice for me. I am starting to read others’ haiku with much more discernment as well.
