Wordless Wednesday
A Drop of Water
a drop of water
cradled on the leaf of the lotus flower
rolling around in the sun
dancing with the wind for time

Autumn
Choka, Japanese Long Form Poetry
the heat has vanished
first cool day of late summer
my thoughts turn to fall
cool crisp air and turning leaves
oranges, reds, browns
trees thin, branches reappear
falling leaves rustle
in the autumn wind bringing
a shift in sounds in nature
(envoy or hanka)
true love of autumn
the start of spending time by
the fire, entwined
rekindling the romance
reaffirmation of vows
