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

ReplyDeleteYour poem is like a stroll on an autumn day!
ReplyDeleteThe fall sure shows much indeed, although not sure the kids are happy about back to school haha
ReplyDeleteWOW! 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.
ReplyDeleteThe sports change right along with the colors!
