In Autumn

russet leaves rustle
in a deep red twilight’s chill
as I ruminate
on summer’s passing and this
beautiful melancholy

I feel the emotion in this impactful tanka. Such an otherness emotion puffs that particular melancholy cloud.

Summer's departure and the arrival of autumn nearly always elicit a sense of nostalgia which you captured so well in these few lines, Andrea! Congratulations on your podium finish. ~ Regards // paul
