Autumn nights draw in
rustles of crisp leaves—hung on
each turn of a page

Autumn leaves

Haiku on Autumn

With silence and respect, a monarch guides her kingdom: fulfils a solemn duty performed for her people. As she is laid to rest, a kingdom mourns its monarch: completes her final honour with silence and respect.

On Queen Elizabeth II lying in state

Poem to the Queen

A translation of 'In Autumn' by Rubén Darío.

In Autumn by Rubén Darío

I know that people ask: why doesn't he sing in the wild symphonies that used to ring? They haven't seen the work of an hour—turning the gears— the labour of a minute, the wonder of a year. As a young tree, I was tuned to the breeze, and produced a vague poetic harmony. That smile—once so fresh and green—has passed, so let the hurricane whip up my heart.
