Warmth

shadows on bare trees

With the fading light goes warmth.
On vacation for the winter.
Gone South
with the birds.

Instead of following the birds,
Follow the cat.
He knows the warmest spot
In the house.

Dancing in Fall

IMG_5047.JPGThe sky invites
The sycamores to dance.
Bare branches
Bend and sway
Curtsying to one another
In proper fashion.

Meanwhile the leaves have flown.
They turn up around back
Loitering by the steps,
Rabble rousing and doing their wild dances…
Waiting for the night wind
to whisk them away.

Thankful that the leaves in the country just blow away…

Solitude

Never one to fear solitude or think of it as lonely,

solitude

she relishes alone-time.
The flowers and trees of the nearby fields

tell her their secrets.

Grateful for solitude, she turns off the radio to hear the quiet.
