fall's splendor beckons
clear color caresses eyes
soothes burdened spirit
crimson gold ginger
flames blaze between pristine pine
glow in sapphire sky
apple trees burdened
release fruit from weary arms
crunch juicy sweetness
laden with harvest,
chilled pilgrims welcome hayride
warm apple crisp calls
the cool night invites
bathe in bubbling tub comfort
life brighter than stars

P.S. reminds me that we just picked apples and my grandaughter is supposed to come over so we can do our cinnamon apple sauce thing. I love how the house smells when we do that

I enjoyed reading this
Northern autumn is something I've been missing since I moved to Florida. -
This is sooooooo your fault....now you've put me in the mood to start baking
But overall, I was sort of confused on what was being given but then afterwards, I finally caught onto the images and the images of growing up and learning how to cook from grammie pooled in

Fall's splendor beckons
inhale beauty like a balm
calm weekday haste
Crimson gold ginger
blaze between pristine pine
flames in sapphire sky
Apple trees burdened
release fruit from weary arms
crunch juicy sweetness
Laden with harvest,
chilled pilgrims welcome hayride
warm apple crisp calls
The cool night invites
bathe in bubbling tub comfort
life brighter than stars
Thank you for entering mu ku contest. This is a very well written haiku chain, but I may have found some count problems with it. "calm weekday haste" has only four syllables and it should have five. "blaze between pristine pine" only has six syllables and it should have seven. -
-
I fixed the syllable count! Thanks!

Very nice haiku chain, all perfect related to natures beauty. Colors and smells overloaded them all the best way.

Sounds like what the doctor order a peaceful day away looking at nature beauty.
These lines charmed me down to my bare toes.
Crimson gold ginger
blaze between pristine pine;
flames in sapphire sky.

This is a good use of haikus to get across images of autumn, nothing feels out of place or forced.
Good write.
