Heavy leaf-fall warning
Thursday, October 22, 2009
Hearts glow, tremble, cling --
Then, all pour down with the rain,
Tumble in the wind.*
*(According to the 5-7-5 rule, the haiku must end here, but the work does not: so I'd like to add 5 more syllables: 5 hours of raking! And yes, despite all the raking, the katsura is still my favourite tree for autumn colour and light.)
