the calendar says October
but it is still summer
in the side yard
Dawdling Days
The Veil Lingers
in the softness
of a summer morning
the landscape still dreaming
Open Space
the days expand
mid-mornings linger
the feeling grows
that there is time enough
Those Polka Dots
the leaves give a lingering goodbye
small parts already departed
their absence a bittersweet embellishment
Warmed By The Sight
lingering
red leaves
flickering like flames
Inside The Moment
the peacefulness of morning
lingers like
dewdrops on a leaf
In The Morning
stars
from the holy night
linger
Botanical Print
lingering leaves
a curtain
of light
Red Maple Ghost
like an apparition
she lingered
behind the crabapple
Snail’s Pace
gorgeous October days
ever so slowly
we tuck the garden in
In This Liminal Time
each morning
with the flowers
sweet dreams linger
Defying The Elements
sweet hydrangea
her summer bloom lingers
on a honeycomb of petals
Susan Stayed Late
her smiling eyes
outside the window
still
Interval
linger
on the edge
of day
Taking Turns
summer lingers
in the field
autumn at the fencepost
A Lingering
red canoe
a memory
of summer’s kiss
New Day
the light still lingers
from some other
morning’s moon
