Frost Dresses

Frost dresses basil leaves
Now white - soon brown and brittle
As Autumn passes by.

Golden Brown

Golden brown leaves drift
To earth - blanketing the grass
Crinkling under foot.

Off White

Under an off white
cloud blanket, red sumac bursts
Amid fading grass.

Forest Burns

A forest burns bright
In the autumn sun which rises
Late in a pale sky.

Mud Swallows

Mud swallows yellow
Boots - sucking the soles down deep -
Souls glued to the earth.

Puff Ball

Puff Ball clouds float past
Scrapping the tree tops, shaking
Loose leaves as they pass.

Slate Gray

A slate gray ceiling
Peeks, between the turning leaves
That dance, spin and fall.
