meandering sky
drinks in the shadowy folds
twist of white willow

meandering sky
drinks in the shadowy folds
twist of white willow

from her white hat -drip!
rolls down the curve of…
-drip!

brittle faded leaf
colors drawn into gray waves
sheen skims dry river

in the autumn glow
galloping on the prairie
plumes of goldenrod

sprinkle of snowflake
alight on thorny branches
autumn rose in bloom

dripping with autumn
sunflower’s sunshine shadow
footsteps pass -plashing!

leaves ride waves of grass
reflecting light weaving though
the gray autumn skies

in the old shed plank
dripping in the marsh pond fog
floats the mid-day moon

lost in the drizzle
dripping between here and there
I had a thought

on evening commute
settles without a whisper
the pounding day’s rain

slippery needles
lie in slippery shadows
slips mid-autumn sun

an eruption -boom!
pluck of a string -vibrations!
not moving an inch

daytime star-clusters
weave among clouds and branches
after autumn rain

ancient veins hissing
coiled around this metal heart
a sudden shiver

fragrant autumn wind
blowing through your ruffled hair
silver drops of dew
