listen to autumn
rattle to the ground
from the oak tree
acorns fall bright new hopes
among last year’s dead leaves
Tanka for coming autumn

Jane Dougherty Writes 
Even if i do not love autumn 😉 this “new hopes
among last year’s dead leaves” gives hope. Thank you Jane! Hope you have a beautiful weekend! Michael
You too, Michael. We have to hope that nature will do at least what is possible. I don’t expect miracles, just that the wheel will turn as it ought, and there will be a spring with new oak trees sprouting 🙂
:-)) So true! Awaiting the next sping with hope. Looking at the politic, this could be a very hot autumn, and a much more hotter winter too. 😉
Yes, your part of the world is in for a bumpy ride. Perhaps the Green party will make enough gains to limit the advance of the AfG party. Not likely I know. What short memories people have.
Very short memories, but actually i fear we can get something like a climate dictatorship too. You know the Germans. They are very strong in view of this way.
Yes, they seem to be very strong on rules and then obeying them.
Bingo! 🙂
🙂
Lovely Jane!
Thank you, Linda 🙂
Just this week the acorns started falling…perfect! (K)
They’re dropping, but gently here. Expecting bombardments of them soon.
