Chilly autumn dew
each hawthorn leaf bejeweled
with pavé diamonds.

Beautiful! Your brilliant haiku reminds of a vision I had no words for. Thank you!
Wow, thank you both so much! I saw this at a bus stop this morning and it transformed my day with its unexpected beauty.
The wetness of these bejeweled leafs makes me want to reach out and touch them! Very tactile Haiku:)

How you can look and find such a memory and so much intensity in this one single moment.
I love it.
