I love the simplicity of the photograph it's stunning!

Did you take it? I'd love to see more of your work on this site.

I feel you have a gift for tanka type poetry, I was wondering if you used the five line set up for a while it might bring out more of a tanka? e.g.

From:

coolness lingers on a dewy day
loon mourning in the lake
--one red leaf falls


to:

coolness lingers
on a dewy day
the loon mourns

in the lake
one red leaf falls



all my best,
Alan

Alan, I think you're trying to teach an old dog new tricks! I will have to research tanka, though. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Jenn!

You're younger than me! Don't get too daunted by tanka when you research it, as you already have a tanka voice!
