TANKA TUESDAY Challenge NO 31--


a small autumn leaf
drifting by your window
caught up in your fingers
fingers that can cherish it
or fingers that can crush it


 autumn
 is a sad time
 beautiful to look at 
 red gold leaves slowly dying like
 our love

    Oh, this is a poignant poem, Rall. I like the connections between love and the autumn leaves dying. 💜
