Things to do with ‘autumn’

looking out

above Goris

PF took this picture looking out over Goris.

The test included an essay question: ‘write about your fall holidays.’. Although I correctly translated ‘vacation’ into ‘holiday’, I forgot to change ‘fall’ into ‘autumn’. One of the students asked about it. Made me think about what a ‘fall holiday’ would be: bungee-jumping – or Halloween.

of the times

fallen pears fermenting on the pavement

indecisive days too warm and too cold

leaden-eyed maidens drooping into evening

slouching easily on an afternoon bicycle

slumped down reading in a pillowed chair
