A lesson and a poem - both wonderful! :)
Well written.
BTW, speaking of moribund leaves, I'd be interested in your reaction to my francophile post for Magpie 35.
Thanks for the introduction to spate! Wonderful.
oh I liked this one very much
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire ... I love Autumn ~ you described it beautiful with your haiku.
I like the word "spate" but I'd forgotten about it. A marvelous photograph and a wonderful poem.
I can smell those chestnuts.
ah you have invoked the spirit of fall...i smell it in the air...nice magpie.
