hanging up her beret
she slips into autumn

    Hard to think of slipping into autumn when the summer heat is just starting here.

    I do really enjoy many of the Classical Chinese poets, too, such as you feature ...

    i like the comparison between stages of life and seasons in this ku. there are a lot of ways to take this. cool on that too.
