"scenes of Fall"

Pumpkins carved and placed a carpet of leaves scattered the fall moon peaks through as a cold brisk wind follows to sounds of branches snapping. smells of wood burning carry through the air swiftly filling the night sky glimmering stars like candles spread out over this evening. Enchantment of Fall Tanka a Moment contest by Amy Green

Your tanka makes me miss fall all over again. Florida does not have a true autumn season and I love the sights and sounds and scents your poem brings to mind.
