Spent Beauty
Flaming acer leaves
now that summer is over
last bright offering
season sends you tumbling
trickling over the fall
This week Celestine Nudanu has joined me and has created a wonderful tanka based on my photo, visit her and have a look. http://readinpleasure.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/a-tanka-autumn/ Join in too if you feel like it!

All the lovely ‘s’ sounds give this a soft and dreamy texture. Wonderful, Gilly. Wonderful.
Very pretty words! And a perfect description of the photo.
A beautiful photo, Gilly. Your Tanka is so perfect. 🙂
This is beautiful Gilly.
This is magical, Gilly. You are a master at this. 🙂
