Setting sun

Tabby cat sits in /

the setting sun’s amber glow /

and parade of leaves.

Bells

Fresh blueberries fall, /

clap against the metal bowl. /

The bells of summer.

Seeds before the moon, /

autumn leaves dangling like dreams, /

perishing tonight.

In a moment

Dying autumn leaf, /

Whisper now how winter comes: /

With love or without?

Fall flowers

Paths of fall color /

Descending from summer /

Color winter’s way.

Sunset

Crimson at sunset. /

Cardinal pauses to drink. /

Day shadows its end.

Failure

Is their poetry /

in failure? Bleak winter sun /

pockets its promise.

Reflection

Upon reflection, /

I am what I am not. /

The mirror breaks.

Still green

As days grow shorter, /

September’s green tomatoes /

still age on the vine.

dreams and snowflakes curl.
