these wet leaves -
some of the morning rain held
in reserve

Went out for breakfast this morning with my daughter, we haven't had a morning out just the two of us for quite some time.

As well - a little serving of Basho
A monk sips morning tea,
it's quiet,
the chrysanthemum's flowering.

    ...and I had a long conversation with my daughter today as well, thought she is 3000 miles away. We can each be thankful and celebrate our Sunday!

    I think we need to reserve a bit of rain, to help us in times of drought.

    Nice, Gillena! I like the way you've arranged the text down the page and varied the font color. It reinforces the fall of rain.
