Eighty autumns gone, Trunks crooked-bent, woman-tree At work at old tasks. * Covering concrete with crepe; Brooming a path through the leaves. |

Sunshine I'll add this to what you said and make it a another tanka..... "Such time as fall comes Reflections are caught in leaves Skipping like children" That play at games in the heaps Of what's fallen as debris. Thanks for reading --------ice/ford |

Then there are some falls That leave behind pang's regret Conversations end Only whispers of twilight ~ Subtle shadows within reach |
