Leaves on Edge
scurry, whirlpool
underfoot

Aspen, maple, oak
rattle snare drums

Some defy gravity--

and as quickly fall

Ice in Lemonade

is for those with time
to glimpse the wonder of
summer's brevity

WRITE YOUR POEM:

A cold rain starting

A cold rain starting
And no hat --
So? 

Matsuo Basho
