At dVerse Lisa is hosting Poetics with an invitation to engage with the Japanese (derived for the Chinese) seventy-two seasons comprised of: Major season – Sekki; Minor Season within – Ko. See the link below for more info.
dVerse Poets – Poetics – One of Seventy-two Seasons
“Rain is the language of flowers”. Emily Dickinson
In this attempt Sekki is early winter as shown in soft droplets, and Ko is shown in how the snails respond in the arrival of moisture.
