Fall…a poem of sorts

fall is a gateway
holding back
winter
as long as it can
but we all know
that winter
always wins
no one
or nothing
can stand up
to winter’s
freezing temperatures
mounds of snow
and slippery ice
but eventually
spring
in her grass green
ballet slippers
twirls in
and winter sighs
knowing that
all that sweet
newness
is so cute
it will literally melt
its heart
making room
for a new gateway
to summer
when the cycle
will begin once again

September…a poem

September’s
such a funny month
it’s as if it has free will
the kind everyone thinks we have
it can be warm and sunny
damp and cool
green or colorful
we never know what September
is going to give us
but the days are shorter
the early mornings nippy
and no matter what September pretends to be
we all know summer is on its way out
and winter has its foot in the door

Beware, fall approaches and the fairies are awake…a poem

the falling of leaves
and the crunching sound
of footfalls
alert the wee folk
of our approach
they smile with glee
as they wait for their traps
to be sprung
laughing
as we untangle ourselves
never realizing
how close we have come
to being enslaved

A new month…closer to Halloween, bare trees, freezing temperatures, bitter wind, ice and snow. Who could ask for anything more? HELLO SEPTEMBER!!!!

The pumpkins are gathering…wondering if it was worth it to spend their entire lives growing, just to be cut up and made into scary faces.

Fall…

it’s hot
still summer
but if you take a
deep breath
you can smell
fall
waiting in the wings
flowers
are starting
to go to sleep
