“Exhume”

Exhume

Grave-slab clouds exhumed. /

Water wandering wildly. /

Winter almost here.

“Blur”

Blur

Birds at the feeder,

blurry against the cold and

night’s coming embrace.

“That which is”

That which is

As much idea /

as desire, as much action /

as place … is home.

“Waiting”

Waiting

Waiting your guidance, /

possessions are opinions /

lacking direction.

Cartoonsday: “Pumpkin spice”

Pumpkin spice

Oh, that pumpkin spice.

Some say, “How nice.”

Some say, “It doesn’t entice.”

In your latte or your cocoa cup,

It’s meant to please, to fill you up.

It’s as though this orange gourd

Was handed down by some manor lord.

But is this what Halloween means?

Lining someone else purse with our green

As we smell it, taste it, baste it,

Living as if we cannot waste it?

Oh, that odorous pumpkin spice,

Coming to offer, to entice.

A little pumpkin can be nice,

But a lot is like having lice.

“Moments”

Moments

Moments are time’s stones. /

Some build bridges to the heart. /

Some become fall leaves.

“Salutation”

Salutation

I stand up to you, /

Young cat said to Old cane. /

Old cane kept its lean.

“Slight”

Slight

Moon above, street light /

Leaves limn with what’s bright.

Color

Etched against autumn, /

Butterfly and sunflower /

Hold to summer’s bloom.

Alone

Falling yellow tears, /

this sere autumn day is not /

for me, alone.
