So many compare
fall to the summer burning
away to winter,
but I see a cloak's flourish,
revealing beauty beneath.
The cloak pools the floor,
revealing the beauty of
what was always there
beneath the flowing clothing.
Embrace; keep away the chill.
Soon enough the bright
raiment of spring will cover
everything and we
will walk out to sunshine.
Now, hold tight to what is now.

Oh, you wretched words
There on the edge of my lips
Tentative and shy
Like children in the doorway
When strangers come to visit

Coming home at night
I find the house is chilly:
Time to shut windows.
Time too to nestle beneath
My favorite wool blanket.

Tell me a story
One from my childhood days
Replete with wonders
Warriors brave and ladies fair
From when the world was younger

Each time I impose
This challenge upon myself
I know it will come:
More than one night of trying
To come up with a topic.

My heart is wistful
When I watch the sunshine smile
Outside my window
The wider world is waiting
I shiver on the threshold

Absentminded, I
have already missed a day
in this challenge, but
soldier on I will, although
I wish my triple counted.

Colored wisps of cloud
Paint the western horizon
As sun sinks in bay.
A thousand lamps glimmer on
Eastern hills as night descends.

So much to do on
the weekends that it will be
quite a relief to
go to work on Monday and
relax into simple tasks.

As I grow older
The autumn mornings become
Ever more poignant
Where do I stand this year on
The circle of life and death?

Shining in the sun
like beads of clear rock crystal
on plush black velvet,
reflecting the sky above:
raindrops on a black dog's back.

As I lay out clothes
For tomorrow, I recall
Rain has been forecast.
My favorite sweater, then.
Now where are those warm boot socks?

I am perplexed by
The season of this morning
Cloaked in Autumn's robes
I am kissed by Summer's crown
But encased by Winter's howl.
11/05/25 (as posted on facebook)
Come and join me here
Gather around the camp fire
Share a song or two
Spread cheer and chocolate squares
Between s'mores cooked golden brown.
11/06/15 (as posted on facebook)
The path is obscured
And forward is all I know
So with careful steps
I make my way through the night
Hoping I do not disturb.
11/07/15 (deja vu?)
Around a table
We share each other's story
An appetizer
A drink from great distances
An entree prepared with love
11/08/15
exhausted I fall
deep into a feathered dream
through the shadowed gate
just past the midnight draw bridge
a starlight palace awaits

Chill descends at night
as warmth rises from below.
At least it should. What?
This radiator is cold.
Dear, where is the bleeder key?
