after the rain
copper leaves warming
in autumn sun
rust on her old trike
sparkles like new
Betty Kaplan,

a gloomy Sunday
I sip my wine
and watch the rain
once on such a day
it was the time for love

Remember you
Of fallen blood run so deep
Hope that bleeds away
Beneath the pain of sorrow
Remember someone loves you
Remember you
There’s something to die for
Something to live for
A drink of life within hope
There is water in your blood.
A Collaborative Tanka
Autumn Colors
A thousand colors
