early morning quiet
as I read, one leaf
takes its time
and falls gently
to the ground
Category: Large Print Tanka
some time
some time
in my small study
so I do not miss
small gold leaves
in the wind
October begins
October begins
Fall colors and trees
orange pumpkin
and blue vase
by the window
always seems
always seems
a short time
tiny rows of corn
grow tall in fields
and then the harvest
grey sky and blue
grey sky and blue
a tree that will lose
its leaves and
rest awhile
grow anew
September days
September days
large bouquet
of chrysanthemums
from the store
this time
Monday
Monday
and planning
the week
what will grow
what should rest
