cooler weather and strong winds
all the leaves falling and we see the shapes of trees
light streams into the house as the sun moves south
red geraniums still bloom
October turns to face November

leaves fall
leaves fall
by my study window
reach the earth
leaves fall
by my study window
reach gardens
where primroses,
hosta, and lilies grow
Garden Poems – 4
gold hosta leaves
and sounds of rain
October morning
some water
for the Christmas cactus
new buds grow
October days
and November in sight
frost on the ground
October 2020
all a day can hold
sun and shadows
on the wood window frame
above my desk
in my small study
late afternoon
sky colors and no wind
quiet day
sunset as I write
sky changes
to night
sunrise
for as long
as I can remember
the wonder of books

reading
Emily Dickinson
on a rainy day
gold leaf stays
on the branch
October 2018
bright sunrise
icicles on fallen branches
near the water
November 2018
towards
the shortest day
of the year
Light
in my heart
November 2018
predawn
shapes of trees
and branches
with few leaves
predawn
drawing a picture
with a poem

Garden Poems – 2
sunrise . . .
small branch growing
from the old tree trunk
October 2011
many sparrows play
in evergreen trees
perfect harmony
October 2012
cold
Lake Michigan winds
a tiny bird
seeks shelter
by the kitchen window

Garden Poems
new garden
in October
Autumn light
mid-October
enough change
to inspire thoughts
of November
October 2015
small evergreen branch
apart from its tree
caught by and adding green
to a birch tree branch
with few gold leaves
November 2015
after rain sun
after rain sun
in the garden
where green plants
still grow and today
begins anew
