yet another autumn tanka from Lychee Hawks' non-existing gardening hat + it's photo version

My ink stone is dry
Don't expect any letters.
The fall is here
LIke a dead leaf from a tree
I'll disappear from your life.

Веер красивый. И - аааа! Литайский фoнарик! Рыыыженкий:)

И очень вольный перевод

Сухи чернила мои -
Писем не ждите.
Осень.
Как с дерева лист сухой,
И я улетаю прочь.

Beautiful, as always. :)

I feel like I've already commented on this since I have been talking about it all day!

I truly adore the written poem. I thought it truly sounds like a message from the past. To me it evokes a feeling of a scholar leaving the world behind so he can rest during the autumn. Lychee was in an especially good form today.

The visual poem is also beautiful. I especially like the first photo, though the Chinese lantern is very pretty.
