Summer's End

 Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

a shriveled leaf 
still hanging on
to summer's end

summer's end
the last leaf falls
not yet brown

    Do you know "The Last Leaf" by O. Henry? Your haiku reminded me of that story. It's here, and I think you will enjoy it: http://www.online-literature.com/o_henry/1303/

    How sad for one's life to end prematurely.

    Ah ... very good. But I prefer to think that one fallen leaf doesn't make autumn, especially on July first (Northern Hemisphere of course)!
