Autumn Rain here
Haiku
in your season only

I think it was Duke Ellington who, when asked what "swing" is, replied, "If you have to ask, you'll never know."

thanks, Margie, will try to enjoy :-)

Lorraine - autumn clouds/sun/rain all in a day here, and quite warm. the posted haiku is an oldie

Bill - yes, clever words, but not necessarily aplicable to any situation :-)

true, Doug. but there are some basic guidelines. and usually a beginner (which i undoubtably was at the time this was written) knows it best. doubts begin to creep in later...
