A Single Leaf, an Impromptu verse

I have written an Impromptu verse ... I saw a single leaf dancing through the streets. It's was a very stormy day today so the last leaves are blown away by that strong wind. But this one single leaf touched me. And I wrote the following haiku on that event:


one single leaf
dances on the shoulder of the wind -
prima ballerina


Isn't it a wonderful little gem? This haiku feels just good and strong. What do you think about this one?
