there goes autumn
passing by
the back door
Open To Change
Stopping By The Marigolds
cooling down
in the petal shade
of the mid-day sun
Come Sit
watch the slant of light
tilt us
towards autumn
Inconspicuousness
ordinary leaf
bland rock
that hops
Small White Goat
having cleared the field
of thistle and thorn
a full belly-ed rest
Morning Glory
a sunrise of sorts
awash in colors and
offering light like a new day
A Glimmering Caught My Eye
the shimmer
in the shadows
reveals a tiny green rocket
Autumn Light Elucidated
red maple
leaves blazing
lightening in their veins
Round Bales
the hay harvest
rolling in
like a weather front
Diamond Dew
fleeting brilliance
these jewels
of water and sunlight
September Gifts
sustenance for
southern journeys
the sunflower fence in bloom
Mousseron Magic
bright pops of color
or carefully camouflaged
fungi fantasia
Preparation For Fall
meadow, mountains, sky
intensify their colors
as shadows grow deeper
Universe of Seeds
tiny adventurous time travelers
dug in, in flight or hitching a ride
protectors of the ecosystem
Piecework
patchwork of light
on the forest floor
time quilts early autumn
Grasshopper’s Side-eye
hey lady
yeah you in the straw hat
who you lookin’ at?
Thunderhead
Zeus at work
stirring up the sky
billowing the blue
Stegosaurus
front yard dinosaur
mushroom scutes
on the old oak
White Bugle
it’s taps for summer
as blooms sound
the approach of fall
Watching The Whispering
I saw
the soft sound
of marsh grass
White Admiral
her visit
a blessing of
the horse hair nest
Temple
spires of the old tree
the mossy sacred stump
holy ground
Dream Catcher
flower of the sun
catching light
protection from darkness
Weathered Boards
old barn
heart chamber
of the farm
Turkey Feathers
patterned iridescence
calling potential mates
come dance with me
Fishing
watching the heron
a lesson
in patience
Longevity
lingering lilies
the bee balm’s re-bloom
September summer
Mist Rise On The Meadow
the curtain rises
on the play
of another summer day
Concentric
a motionless twirl
sunflower’s
circle upon circle
Magic And Laundry
zinnias watch the day unfold
the driftwood horse oversees
sheets drying in the summer breeze
