The Black Creek in Autumn

Mid-morn sunny leaves

Fall slowly dreamily down

Twisting singly

Lighting silently

Spreading circling ripples

Red, yellow, downstream

Creek was not so black on this Autumn day. Caught a moment and a place and a season so beautifully Harry. Where is Black Creek and are there hiking trails nearby?

  This Black Creek is in Brooklyn, Mississippi. There’s a canoe rental outfit there (may be closing for the season soon) but no hiking trains that I know of.
