Risshuu, shedding of
leaves but full of colors with
Japan’s moon yonder

Liken to life’s fling
to maturity before
old age feel beckons

Melancholic stroll to
cold spell but signals start of
new activities

Back to School, sports and
Halloween, a plate full of
promotions galore

Written for Chev's CARPE DIEM #286 - Risshuu (coming of autumn)

  4. WOW! This paints autumn in al it's beauty ... I love it ... autumn is really my season. I like the colors of the leaves and finally the bare branches ... the scent of chrysanthemum and the cooling down of the weather. Wonderfully done Hank.
