Nicely done, your tanka poem...I like the premise that autumn is undressing, her finery dropping to the ground, like a lover preparing...the brillant gown of rd and gold tumbling to her feet, only then to be surrounded by the pale winter winter blanket.


good alliteration:
dressed December

So very beautiful, again saying much in a very few words.

outside my door
dressed in December
winter lurks
unaware that autumn
is not quite undressed. (I really love this last line)

Inside my heart
Before the spring thaw
I'll think of you
and remember
When we were both young

Guess there's no poetic formula, ingrid

I enjoyed reading your poem about how Decembers weather is lurking out your door and it is not officially sprung at us yet. I can relate to you your description of such weather. Autumn is not ready to let go yet and disappear, yet as soon as we step outside it's cold. Enjoyed your poem using the tanks style. Thank you for sharing it.
