The swirling around the feet seems at odds with a foreboding feel at the end. I prefer the playful feeling in the first line, but it's not my decision.

I understand sunsets in the colors of the changing leaves, but the shape throws me off. I'm thinking of an oak leaf, and going....nope. Maybe specify the variety of leaf? 

Also, I think that you're using too many filler words (of, me, in, the). Haiku is bonsai, and I think you'd do well to pare it down to the basics and pack in as much observation as possible.

P.S. Welcome back to the Pen  Thumbsup
