“What has come along to change my mind? Fall, magnificent fall, in all its grandeur, when the maples are blazing with glory, like young romantic poets dying as they are writing their best stuff.”

a morning so dark,

i could drown in it,

if not for the puncture of light

from the ground~

reds, yellows, oranges

wet jewels delighting

my soul

This morning’s hard frost

makes such clear lines,

like a single voice

in a jumble of

autumn’s noise.

The world out my writing window is almost too lovely to bear

with rosy ground foliage

& alighted yellows,

burnt oranges

and wet stone,

trunk of tree

and batten board,

and last and never least,

the evergreen.

The ground is encrusted in ice this morning

while the pond is liquid still

reminding me that

in my dreams

I was frolicking

in lovely, temperate waters

that suddenly

began to swell.

Alarmed, I made my way toward the bank

and just as I lifted myself out

what was once fluid, grew as solid

as the earth.
