Indian summer
I pick out the colours
from a spice stall

Living Haiku Anthology
"Maria Tomczak lives in Poland, and her haiku, “Indian summer / I pick
out the colours / from a spice stall”, perfectly bring together the
thoughts, and senses of autumn. The colors of shrubs and trees have
turned and the spice stall colors reflect the change. I picture myself
standing in front of row after row of spices and wondering what to cook
with them. It’s the perfect season for a soup or stew using spices
which, coincidently, match the season in color and smell."
