Hi Adelaide: A lovely flow to your poem – a season in miniature! Your photo compliments the poem well.
Thank you, Frank. Up here, you know autumn is on the way when the hay is cut and left to dry.

Really like your tanka, plus the photo (have been intending to take photos of some round bales around here too). Like the progression and layers of meaning.
Thank you Janet. I've taken several pictures, a few each year.
Glad you stopped by.

I messed up posting yesterday; so today I removed a duplicate post of mine. I'll stop by again later to read more of your work!
Hi Janet,
I have added your blog to my list of favorites.

How nice, Adelaide, thanks. I will be sure to add a link to yours too!
