Beautiful ginkgo
With geisha's grace offering

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Seeing scattered fan-shaped ginkgo leaves in their golden autumnal splendour inspired me. Having not seen a ginkgo tree for years, I recently saw two in one day, in two different cities: one in a university square, the other in a cemetery. In both instances, transforming their surroundings.

A nice haiku and a nice 'Poet's Notes' too- a pleasure to read. I remember, in my childhood days, we used to kick around the large fallen leaves of the big banyan tree.

The poem takes me back to when I was at school, and in the autumn, on the way home, me and my pals used to walk down the path behind our church, kicking up the leaves as we went. No Ginkgo trees though, only your common or garden Sycamore - nice leaves though - nice little poem too.
