Shhh

 

Fall's colors fade

and landscape takes a muted hue

Shhh plants are sleeping

Alpha or Omega

 

Sunrise or sunset

an Aurora or Gloaming

beauty either way

New world order

 

It's time to face it

our world is totally nuts

it's the new normal

Friends

 

Friends are important

for withstanding daily life

always hold them close

Bittersweet days

 

Bittersweet Fall days

a friendly reminder

that winter is coming

Another late bloomer

 

Another late bloomer

enjoying the warm fall sun

counting the days till spring

one hundred twenty three

if you're counting

Change is likely

 

About November

days grow colder and leaves drop

nothing left to say

Thanksgiving as we knew it

has just been cancelled

Rose unfurling

A late rose unfurls

unfazed by fall's chilly air

a joy to behold

 

Reincarnation

 

Appearing late fall

certainly a late bloomer

reincarnation

A bitter pill

 

We learn as children

some pills are hard to swallow

but we accept them

The wait

 

Hanging out awaiting

the forgone conclusion

life always goes on

Heroes

We are all heroes

when we tell our own story

it's the way to be

 

Hoping against hope

 

Many have fallen

while a few hardy ones last

hoping against hope
