Slow fall of browned leaves Winter wind but kind and gentle Year’s quiet ending

“Drop in, prices cheap” Street vendors raising voices Must closeout the year

Morning sun rises On the window down the street Reflection but real

Cold pile of brown leaves On the sidewalk kids joyful Jumping in and out

Brown and yellow leaves Flying off from trees in turn Softening the park path

Half-eaten persimmons Some left on a leafless tree In the setting sun

Cold air in the moat The ducks floating and basking In the weak sunlight

Shadows of sparrows Passed dancing across the curtain Sunlight spilling in

Fragrant narcissi Gregarious tiny flowers Shiver like chatting

Faster and faster People tend to walk and drive Soon the year is out
