Fall leaf
The fall light declines. /
The fading leaf catches /
the evening shadows.

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.

“The flash”
The flash
A flash of inspiration,
Showering the consternation
While trying to find usurpation
Because the damn thing won’t work.
Moments of contemplation,
Mental hiccups and gyrations
Have led to this perturbation:
Water and electricity to twerk.
The world in needed restoration
Could use so full lubrication:
Sweat, blood, toil – an aggregation
Exploding with a jerk.

“Whisper”
Whisper
Falling leaves of fall /
whisper their dying refrain: /
winter is coming.

“Hanging”
Hanging
Hanging with the dead, /
may mean fingeratively,
or even your toes.

“Autumn descends”
Autumn descends
Old leaves and lost light, /
days of autumn descend on /
young cat and stone bench.

Embrace
Iron bars may not a /
Prison make, but the Earth may /
Embrace you forever.

“Bending”
Bending
Bending the daylight, /
Shaping the shadows, the bridge /
Spans more than water.

Photo finish Friday: “Seasonal waters”
Seasonal waters
It is the season. /
I drink from the mouth of death /
to quench my parched bones. /
Though I shall never be done /
for death now flows forth from me.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Caress”
Caress
Sky touches nothing /
yet still caresses the Earth’s /
all-embracing beauty.
