Vermilion Leaf

I received the mail, written with cracks on a crisp vermilion leaf. Dropped in by the cool morning breeze. News of autumn's arrival. Date : 10/07/2016

Au natural tanka poem, Afzal. The blending of nature and man ... the arrival of the pending forecast news, the coming change of season was so elegantly written w/concise imagery. Brilliant poetry. Love always, my friend.
