Still October

A still October
Day, bare trees stand motionless
Awaiting the wind.

A Leaf Skips

A leaf skips across
The sunlit sidewalk towards
A open back door.

Lawn

Lawn cut in wide stripes
Fades beneath gold, orange and,
Red, sun cured leaves.

Wintry Skies

Wintry skies hang
Over a dry featureless plain
Lonely, vast, empty.

Bare Branch

Bare branch dry yellow

Grass, dry in the autumn sun

Winds, whisper winter.

Follow

To follow a leaf
Caught on the wind, freed from a tree
Smoothly sailing south.

Wren

A wren roosts in a
Burr oak, stares past gold-brown leaves
to a steel grey sky.

Afternoon succumbs

Afternoon succumbs
To evenings enticement
Twilight closes the drapes.

Harsh

Harsh headlights halos
Fail to pierce the fog's white walls
As autos race by.

Wet Leaves

Wet leaves stick to shoes
Like hitchhikers escaping
The cold forest floor.



October 26, 2009

A Naked Tree

A denuded tree
Leaves scattered on the ground
Like thirty silver pieces.



October 22, 2009

Rain Drips

Rain drips down a
Window making an Autumn
Abstract - red and gold.



October 21, 2009

Misty Morning

Misty morning, dew
Hangs in the air, swirling like
Frosted leaves that fall.



October 20, 2009

Leaves

Orange, yellow leaves
Circling, drifting, sailing down
landing on the grass.





October 19, 2009

Small Glimmer

Small glimmer of light
Pine scent, the sound of needles
Winter shivering.



October 16, 2009

Wipe Away

Wipe away the rain
spattering on the windshield -
Reveal what's ahead.



October 15, 2009

Skip

Skip between the rain drops
Side-step the puddles, watch wet
Leaves plummet to earth.
