Wonderful poem:
I love the first two lines, packed full of atmosphere, with an extra poignant concluding three lines.

Beautiful tanka. Thank you.
Excellent tanka, Stewart. I also like the hint of ambiguity in the middle line.
Thanks for sharing

Evocative and full of the mystery and magic of autumn. Dreams often show us what we need to do…
Great use of smell in this one, Stewart. Made me think of Halloween, as if the smoke mesmerized the author and made him dream that night!
