One thing I love in this is that for me… it brings to mind the sound of an autumn leaf, a little crackle (the wordle skeleton suggests the brittleness that makes it) that reminds me of a laugh…It is a subtle thing, and mostly I love that it it provokes the memory of what has part in that place, that lingering past shared happiness that wells up in memory…
Sorry I'm so late responding…I'm delighted the feeling came through. Kathabela, Melissa, Frances, Aurora, Barbara, Lynne (hi!), and Judith, I appreciate your comments! I enjoyed Dylan's tanka and Dirk's haiku…thank you! :) Lary

A wistful and profoundly beautiful poem, Lary. Thank you for this. :)
A garden is where the earth meets the soul.
Thank you for your gift.
one petal
from the princess tree
clings to the windshield–
I drive away
looking in the mirror
Delicately handled. I really enjoyed this one, Lary.
dried leaf veins
shifting in the wind –
the laughter of time
Beautiful tanka, Lary.
