You just need an appetite
To taste all those experiences
And season your days

Deep burnt umber
Leaves piled high along the paths
Colours of autumn

And a little humorous Tanka too! It’s the kind of thing I’d do, as I love to watch films whiling the time away as I iron!

Romantic moments
Make you stop and breath deep sighs
Then – mistakes happen!
Concentrate whilst ironing
Results may be singed laundry!
