autumn sets her table
for woodland creatures
with delicious decorations
Berry Beautiful
In Exchange
color leaving leaves
to redden berries and set the seeds
the bargain that autumn demands
Fruit And Nuts
a feast
is set
for feathered friends
Wonder
the world is frozen
and yet
everything’s in motion
The Spark Of Tiny Berries
a glee of color
evidence
of nature’s joy
Old Structures Reminisce
behind the arbor and gazebo
berries blush recalling
memories of summer kisses
Cardinal
sighting you
brings delight
as deep as your color
Wild Abandon
scarlet vixen in the woods
kisses scattered
across the landscape
Not One Alone
every berry
provided with
companionship
Berry Cacophony
bright and bursting
rambling scrambling her colors
across the landscape
Bellicose Beauty
running wild
with the grapes
scheming bittersweet
Circle Of Life
all
woven together
departure and arrival
So Elaborately Entwined
dare the tree
stand without
the vine
?
Open To Receiving
a winter walk
the wood’s gifts of beauty
match every step
Autumn Revels
a crowd
of colors
celebrate
Tangle Of Time
all
the past’s moments
entwined
The Forest’s Table
woodlands
set a banquet
for birds
Ice Queen
taciturn
winter wore
a crown of bittersweet
Falling
soft
and slowly
calm descends
Miles of Garland
the landscape
does her decorating
in berries, leaves and weather
We
inside the storm
we feast and sing
life demands our living
Thirst
berries quench
my January thirst
for color
Berry Decor
the yard
was decorated
in berries bright and red
Winter’s Nest
filled with snow
a cozy cold
winter’s nest
Happen By
colors sang
old songs of joy
for all who happened by
Wild Strawberries
with berries gone
leaves reminiscence
still coloring the lawn
Precious
a month behind the stone
the garden ruby’s
month is August
Longing
the fruit
of last year’s blossoms
hold a torch for spring
Hope Gathers
berries bright cheer us on
through winter’s night
until spring’s dawn
Sing Along
bright notes of red
the cheerful chorus
of winter’s song
