Autumn

Autumn

Weaned leaves
Cackle in the wind
Ancient tongues wag

Denuded tree
Arms barren
Empty nest

Crimson fallen leaves
Vie with puddles of light
Who is brighter?

Autumnal weeds
Period of morning
Regenerate post hibernate

Heat loss

Rain patter

Baby prattle

feet- rattle

 

shriveled garden

self preens

slaked thirst

 

heat seared flowers

venting spleen

new sheen

Morning -tercet

Sultry summer sunrise

reluctant grumpy legs

Pavements jeer

Daffodil- summer’s first clap of joy

Golden

Imprint on

In unison

moments

in full bloom

and defiant jig

despite elements

 

hide n seek play

with radiant orb,

Joyous soak

sun, sea, wind

In mind’s  annals, for view

at will, heavenly daffodils

I was in the forest jumping around daffodils while everyone was high on heroin.

Rufus Wainwright, Canadian, Musician

 

Spring comes with flowers, autumn with the moon, summer with the breeze, winter with snow. When idle concerns don’t fill your thoughts, that’s your best season.  – Wu-Men

Flowers grow out of dark moments.

Corita Kent, American, Artist Quotes

 

And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch’d by the thorns.-Thomas Moore, Irish, Poet Quotes

Burst of Life

burst of life
cracking bark
life’s move forward
 

earth’s veins
humming chirpily
readying for furious activity
 

winters overstay
unwelcome guest- may you
leave in peace, not as pest
 

pleasure pain
life’s refrains
notes high, low
 

sickle moon cuts
heart of night dark
sun scythe’s moon
 

survival is name of game
weak may be meek, yet
are never quite beat
 

cheery cherry blossom
blossoms despite frost
toothless frost rendered speechless
