rainy day playing

as the summer's gone

we are not surprised to see

autumn rain at night

-Eiki 

Surprised by the rain this morning, it was necessary to go out and play in it.  It seems as if we didn't have a summer.  We had glimpse of it. More like taking a peek at summer through a keyhole.

the wild summer peeked hotly

through a small keyhole

seeing only autumn rains

I love seeing leaves on the ground.  Especially when they form a beautiful patterned carpet across concrete.  This area doesn't see much fall colors.  Not too many maple forests around here.  One just have to find beauty and solace in what is here.  In small measures.
