Trees throw autumn leaves
painting the boulevard in gold
a true luxury.

Red has really influenced you! Short and sweet but like many haikus, I think it lacks a certain quality. It's vividness is not overtly apparent, however this is only my opinion Twota and I think the word 'throw' is what 'throws' me off!

I liked the first two lines, but the third waned in comparison ( a small chance of wane you say ? - but I digress ).

I would suggest either a new 3rd line or expounding the idea you had; the vision is there !

Really liked the image of 'trees throwing leaves', but Mama Kookaburra was right when she said it feels like it's missing something important...

But you're getting better with every outing, Twota. It's easy to see.
