autumn nightfall
come along with us
as we look for the spot
where an old fox
buried the moon

flying
through
the crayon colors
of a Florida afternoon
a pure black crow

#5lines

Under amber skies
Bones lay waiting
While bleached in stone
No longer being used
Waiting its discovery

retirement thrill
resigning
to a cat's life
I reckon
grooming my whiskers 🐈

autumn storm
when no one dares
to climb the mountain
the trees talk to each other
and let go of their leaves

somewhere
on the edge of the bay
we ask the water taxi driver
if he could just follow
the setting sun

autumn nightfall
a crow and a seagull
share a bagel
left by someone
on a bench in the park

Is love not but a #leap of faith
a hellbent hasty heart
with blinders donned
clear thought abscond
prudence plays no part

breaking the silence
of a bug crawling
on the keyboard
the sound of the wind
through an open window

when there is no rain
falling late at night
I put a bucket in the yard
and hope to catch
a little moonlight

dear world -- I know
my hair needs washing
In my defense
I wrote a prayer
and my mind is clean

Like a child
to be so enamored
with a pair of pink-checked
pajamas that sit so softly
against my skin.

autumn wind
when no one comes
to visit a wounded flower
a butterfly shows it
how to fly away

Words could sustain her, like
blueberry, persimmon, slapdash
cacophony
words she could chew
and taste
