Warm Fall Day

So breezy

Warm fall day 

Shining sun

Much to say.

Breezes blow

Swaying trees

Dusty air

Thank you please.

Parks are full

Playgrounds too

Screaming kids

Joyful view.

Some will swim 

In warm pools

Soak up rays 

They’re no fools.

People dance

Music plays 

Beat goes on 

Night and day.

End this jaunt

Good times had

Warm fall days

Never bad…

Fall Harvest Bounty 

The crops are ready

The time is now

Work them rocksteady

Get off your plow.

Grab all the baskets 

Fill them to the top 

Work and be tacit 

As you harvest the crop.

Time is of the essence

Make your work fast

Only with your presence

Can this bounty last.

With aggregate need 

You tussle and toil 

So that many will feed 

From this fertile rich soil.

Grab the trucks

And your van 

Load them with your bounty 

As fast as you can.

For hunger grows 

In this small town 

God only knows 

This horrible noun.

The trucks are gone 

With food in tow 

The fields move on

With new crops to grow…

Clouds in a Pre-Fall Sky

Crispy wispy clouds 

A gorgeous, blue, pre-fall sky

Nothing shared aloud

I wonder to where they fly?

If I knew I would tell you

And that is no lie

My honesty for beauty

Quite truthful, I try

It’s my artistic duty

To share and never be shy…

Seasons Unique 

Springtime everything’s alive 

Green teaming with such life

Longer days promised.

Summer’s endless adventures

Vacations reunions cruises, time off

Beaches deserts mountains.

Falls cooling breezes

Promises of winter goodbye heat

Hello pumpkin spice.

Winter had arrived

Rainer cooler days, longer nights

Holidays and birthdays.

Four seasons yearly

Each with its own personality

And quite unique…

Walk Into Fall’s Splendor 

Trees bend to the will off the air

Moving gently without a care.

Softly rustling and tussling not a tout 

A mere whisper as they move about.

– 

Cool breeze through the trees has its say

Early suggestions of winter as it may.

Leaves suddenly turn, and fall to the ground

As they do, hardly making a single sound.

Yellows, tans, oranges and reds 

Flow like feathers above our heads.

No bugs around the forest deep 

Early entering a seasons long sleep.

A chimney smokes and fills the air 

A sweet-rich scent beyond compare.

The sky in fall is a different kind of blue

All who like up know that it’s true.

Not much time left, sunshine’s shorter 

Winter happens in less than a quarter.

Leaves cover the ground so much 

That every step results in crunch.

As it darkens, I tire, and venture home

For hot apple cider to warm my bones…

Seasons 

Season of rain 

Ushers in pain.

Seasons of sun 

Bring about fun.

Seasons of cold 

Blankets are sold.

Season of fire 

Fulfilling desire.

Season of heat 

Radiated street.

Season of breeze 

Swiftly moving trees.

Seasons of spring 

Bluebirds sing.

Season of fear

Will life endear?

Season of summer

Never a bummer.

Seasons of love 

Peace of doves.

Season of salt 

Dinner’s gestalt.

Season of fall 

Halloween and all.

Season of pepper 

Sneezing forever.

Season of hate

Political debate.

Season of winter 

Frost, crack, splinter.

Seasons renewed

No year, subdued.

Seasons do end 

Let’s not pretend…
