Maple Leaves

Maple leaves bright red
Fall breezes remove loose stems
'Pon the ground now rest

Like red leather gloves fit hand
Leaves conform to earth's surface

You are getting very good with these Tankas! They are a lot of fun aren't they...addicting I have to admit! I went through a Tanka phase where that's all I wrote, you probably remember that! But it was so much fun, as I'm sure you are noticing yourself how much fun it is! You are doing very well with these! I am enjoying reading them my friend! Keep them up, they are wondrous! Great Work!!
