  Dry


No
harsher sign
of Summer’s end

than
Mullein leaves,
now parchment curls

where
palest softest

healing velvet was.

Wonderful Hay(na)ku, Jean!

And thanks for the great link to the herbal site.
 
A very nice poem, Jean. Everything supposed to be green and growing here looks like that plant now. We have had so little rain this summer.
 
So THAT'S what it is! One appeared in my garden last year, another this. Thanks for the info!
 
Argh, I hate the fall! No, not hate. But I am always sad when the summer is ending, however beautiful the fall can be.
