i wake to a dream 

the dark fragrance of her hair

encompasses me

 Morning comes later

I have passed my exquinox

Night grows knowingly

 i am october

laden with summer's rewards

my leaves burning bright


Thursday, September 28, 2023

Dry as a gray leaf

He doesn't want to get up

It's getting colder


Wednesday, September 27, 2023

Sitting together

The last leaf fell on their bench

Sunday turned to snow

Tuesday, September 26, 2023

Before I was young

When I did not know of age

No past to forget


Monday, September 25, 2023

 The vain scythe of faith

Clears a path through reason's field

Leaving chaff behind

Sunday, September 24, 2023

 It is mostly tail

A fox darts across the road

Jumps into the night

Saturday, September 23, 2023

 That which matters best

Freely come by as the air

No price is enough

Friday, September 22, 2023


 

Nature's dimensions
Abroad its measurelss span
And smallest wonder

Thursday, September 21, 2023

 Spring is a fair child

Splashing in April’s puddles

All wet and merry

Wednesday, September 20, 2023

 The fruits of summer

Fall and begin to ferment

Here's to autumn's wine!

Tuesday, September 19, 2023

 


Dark and patrician
Gaurdians of Red Mountain
Cloaked in cold stone

Monday, September 18, 2023

 Stung by an insect

A door slammed on my finger

Elsewise a good day

Sunday, September 17, 2023

 See how they scurry

Abert squirrels are gratified

A feast of fresh cones!


Saturday, September 16, 2023

 She whispered something

That caused me to close my eyes

And thank my fortune

Friday, September 15, 2023

 In the wheel of time

There must be revolutions

For there to be change


Thursday, September 14, 2023

 Surrounded by storm

Slate sky - hills covered in hail

We were high and dry

Wednesday, September 13, 2023

October's plenty

The pinion jay remembers

Where it stored the seeds

Monday, September 11, 2023

Beyond what we say

You and I are miracles

Of unposed questions

Sunday, September 10, 2023

As far as I know

 Freedom is not what I thought

It's when I don't think



Saturday, September 9, 2023



Stopped in the shadows

Motionless - it stares at me

Its white tail twitches

Friday, September 8, 2023

 This fathomless blue

A vault vast and unblemished 

But for one crow

Thursday, September 7, 2023

Of apprehension 

How do you know what you know

Apart from belief

Wednesday, September 6, 2023

 



The bloom's work complete

Gauzy thistle-down takes flight

As summer exhales

Tuesday, September 5, 2023

 Days fresh as flowers

That wake to bees in morning

Awash with nectar

Monday, September 4, 2023

My experience 

I've learned more than I was taught

Known more than I thought

Sunday, September 3, 2023

 Follow the brown signs

They point to pleasing  places 

Otherwise passed by

Saturday, September 2, 2023

 All that I’ve given

Is inconsiderable

Compared to my thanks

Friday, September 1, 2023

 My face is a map

Drawn with the slow quill of age

Can you follow it?
