Hello Dear One "D" . . . Dropping by to see some of your latest works. Your Tanka here portrays a beautiful and tactile image of what happens as October moves into November. Temperature dropping and golden leaves falling say it all. (I just posted a Halloween Eve Double Tanka, by the way. This one is not so dark -- for a change.) Excellent Tanka for sure D! And a Big 7+ and FAV from me. (Hope all is okay. Ingrid and I have been getting over the flu bug here.) Happy Halloween! Boo! G!
