leaves
scattered on the sidewalk
like fallen stars
This photo was taken outside the American Red Cross center today. Why was I there, well, it was that time again, folks.
As I was walking toward the entrance, the display of colors and the shape of the leaves struck me as poetic.
I don't think a 1-6-4 syllable scheme qualifies as haiku, but it could certainly be said to be a haiku-like poem.

Dear FAUSTINA,
This year, our nation will be observing National Volunteer Week from April 12 through April 18. To celebrate this special time, I wanted to reach out with a message of heartfelt gratitude to all our remarkable volunteers for your service in support of the American Red Cross.
As a Red Cross volunteer, your commitment truly enables our humanitarian organization to stand at the ready – whenever and wherever we are needed. Whether responding to house fires in the middle of the night, volunteering at military and veterans' hospitals, helping to support blood drives or teaching people lifesaving skills, I am profoundly thankful for the ongoing compassion and dedication our volunteers display each and every day.
The Red Cross appreciates all that you do, and we are honored to recognize you during National Volunteer Week. Our volunteers are the very best in the world, and you deserve to be celebrated. On behalf of those we serve, thank you again for standing with us.
Gratefully,
Gail
