Greetings from my street ...
It's a drizzly wet day.
I'm now thinking of my neighbors,
out yesterday sweeping the fallen leaves away,
with an urgency of removing some form of unsightly trash.
These persimmon leaves are the most beautiful
shades of orange and crimson.
But in my neighbors' eyes,
once they hit the ground, man, it is over.
The scattered almond shaped patches covered the street
in front of my house,
making a lovely contrast to the asphalt surface.
Today's rain has brought a new batch of them down.
Let this beautiful melancholy last a bit longer-
Don't hurry along winter with your broom
of disposal...
Till next time... 'Mela
