Tanka challenge 11/30/10

Some cling red and gold
To bony branches, some fall
in rustling brown piles.
How can one choose among them
When they are all beautiful?

Would you believe it only just occurred to me that the month is over? 

Thanks to all who played. There have been a lot of great tanka floating around on my f-list this month.

Once more with the matches and the Daigen Koh

More bad news. Another friend in a health crisis, too damn young to be having a stroke, and the latest bulletin from his wife is Not Good.
