regiment of pines
establishing the frontline
in the waning autumn light
Magnificence
I gloried
in the maple
taking her color as my strength
Attending Service
worship
in the woods
beauty is the pew
Color Burns In The Rain
maple flames
birch trails
white smoke
Autumn’s Calm
the landscape
soothed
by a gentle rain
Afternoon With Cows
we bask
in autumn light
as time floats by
Orchestra Of The Outside
the wind
conducted
autumn’s hymnn
Coat Weather
autumn’s coat
of many colors
adorned with tassels
Autumn Revels
a crowd
of colors
celebrate
Paramours
side by side
the lovely couple
changing with the seasons
Highest, Bluest, Widest
divine sky
heaven visits
for the afternoon
Rain In The River
rain
hurries the river
ever increasing her curves
Dew On Dahlia
in autumn light
the finest finery
dew bedazzles
Autumn Gold
affluence
of leaves
prosperity of color
Taking Turns
summer lingers
in the field
autumn at the fencepost
Touch Of Fall
gathering
at the edges
time’s concentration
Meleagris
gathering
at autumn’s edge
to strategize the season
The Four Fields
those two couples
our friendship weathers
seasons and years
Harmony
November’s
sky and light
when opposites agree
Miles of Moonlight
autumn leaves
illuminated by
the milky way
Maple on Birch
at meadow’s edge
maple turns
summer’s page
Perfect Pear
never seen
indoors or a store
living tree to mouth
Dahlia in the Daises
bright blooms
autumn afternoons
departing soon
Echo
all the departures of fall
echo all the departures in life
a practice of fond farewells
Cacophony
rustle of leaves
squeaking of trees
sounds of season change
Revealed
as leaves depart
the hideaway
is made known
Road Signs
full stop
traffic jam
of autumn’s color
Saturated
a bluing sky
intensifies
the turning of the trees
Reading the Forested Landscape
October morning
the landscape’s poem
told in color and light
Edged With Antique Lace
green field sparkles with frost
as winter takes residence
in the shadow’s depth
