Deep burnt umber
Leaves piled high along the paths
Colours of autumnRitu 2018
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!

With a little tenderness

Indian summer
I bid you a fond farewell
For winter is here

Gives way to cold, bare winterRitu 2017
