This month's haibun challenge at Carpe Diem requires us to intertwine prose and haiku including the five words flowers; full moon; celebrating; winter and breeze. Here is my attempt.
Flowers all are gone
Winter chill is on the breeze
Full moon lights the night
It's November, not the usual time to celebrate new life; but if we look beneath the surface we will see flora and fauna springing with activity. Hedgehogs and squirrels are in the final collection phase ready for their new life of winter sleep.
Off to hibernate
We must hurry, can't be late
Into winter state
Birds are gathering strength to fight the winds on wings to new winter lives in sun and warmth.
Full of energy
For long trip we are ready
Day goodbye to me
Plants are shedding unnecessary weights, preparing for new life in snow and ice.
Old departed leaves
Shed upon the soggy ground
What a huge relief
New life may not be our focus over the next four months but we will gain new insights and new experiences which will form a new life within us.
Celebrate all change
In the new we live and learn
Broaden our range

What a nice haibun Emma. It's not the time for new life, but underneath the surface there's a lot of activity. Well done.
I am new to writing a haibun
...this is delightful to read.
Thank you for sharing.
Peace
