Late Falls’ sudden snow
Crystals from the laden sky
Borne on bitter wind
Drifts to earth with feathered grace
Its’ beauty belies its’ chill

At the risk of overusing superlatives, this is perfect, Dennis!

I LOVED IT!
Wah00!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

Dennis~
Here in Florida we had our first frost this week.
Your sudden snow sounds pretty -
and I'm convinced of the chill !

A wonderful Tanka, as usual.
