Poem: Leaf in the Wind

Like so many leaves
I’m falling away
From my growth
Out on a limb
And the roots there
That supported me

Poem: Night Falls Hopeless

Night falls on the city. I’m here falling on my knees. Somewhere out there I picture you falling in between the world you came from and the world you found yourself in.

Poem: Salty and Sweet

the salty and sweet
of caramel flavored lips
whisper trick or treat

Poem: Pumpkin Persona

from vine to gourd growing
big and round and plump
perfect orange better than my pumpkin kin
a testament to fall
waits in muddy field

Poem: Twilight Hues

the dark purple hues
of an oncoming twilight
changes leaves colors
from bright yellow red orange
to darker shades in the eve

Poem: Colors of Fall Fades

disappearing now
nature’s color fades to brown
fall silence sets in

Poem: Fall Ritual

Hands on plow
Head turned down
Darkness comes

Shadows dancing in fields
Stretch long fingers reaching
For souls who linger long

Poem: Harvest Moon

early dark of fall
fills night with a loneliness
as we look eastward
for the coming harvest moon
signaling celebration

Poem: Sweet Harvest

They say apples hold magic
A hidden star at its core
I never believed in mysticism
Yet you with juice on your chin
Has me absolutely entranced

Poem: Fall Away

Quickly now
From green to yellow
Red and brown
Retreat retreat
Before the winter snap
