Adorn
Death bends the flower, /
its brown shroud draped where life bloomed. /
Earth adorns its grave.

Boundary
Today’s boundary /
might be tomorrow’s pathway. /
In case, take a spoon.

Pumpkins
Orange rounds herald fall. /
Volunteers grown in front yard. /
Evening sun accents.

Tunashamed
Yes, I have been tunashamed.
They descended upon me like ranchers with mange.
They said stop eating that fish, you fool.
Beef’s the only golden rule.
A burger now, a meatloaf later.
Or you’ll be eating exotic gater.
A steak to the heart is the way to go.
This even a vampire knows.
An eye of round, a pound of chuck.
Such cuts of beef will bewitch your luck.
Tender as a filet mignon
Can warm your loins when the nights are long.
No deer, no rabbit, no pheasant will do
When you make a manly stew.
Yes, I have been tunashamed.
I wear the sticker; I can’t complain.
I must do my penance now,
So that later I can eat the cow.

Work
Leaves start falling, but /
flowers continue blooming, /
and bees build for spring.

Welcome
Welcome fall, when rains /
turn summer trees upside down. /
Limbs take root in sky.

Colors
Varied browns of fall /
replace your vibrant summer. /
I remember hues.

Two chairs
We shall find ourselves, /
two chairs by an ageless sea, /
folding in our names.

Half
Reach for the moon, /
shedding its life of lightness. /
Half here and half gone.

Summer’s passing
Bare heads hang empty, /
stalks and leaves brown and crispy. /
Spiders claim briskly.
