Sweet Sight

How beautiful it is

When copper-colored leaves

Are all that’s left on trees

Bright blue the sky

Autumn morning fog

Birds silhouetted in trees

Green becomes golden

Air Tales

 

Beware the gossip shared

By the chatty west wind

Boring captive leaves limbed

Dishing the dirt

Gust Oh

Relentless autumn wind

Turns the rain on its side

Transports leaves brown and dried

Across the yard

Embracing Change

While the smaller tree is losing its leaves

The larger tree is still vibrant green

The grass hosts crumbled golden bits

Squirrels hunt for food to store

They grab the healthy leaves

Off the larger tree

To reinforce

Winter nests

From the

Wind
