Red, molten morning /
Umber clouds seethe in the sky /
Umbrage at the sun.

Wind
Like birds on a wire, /
Waiting for inspiration, /
My thoughts ache for wind.

Morning fire
Autumn’s morning fire, /
caught in the embers of leaves: /
smoldering, dying.

Santa giving out Halloween candy
Happy Ho-Ho-Holloween!
From October 31, 2013.
A pirate and Mario green
On Santa’s front porch can be seen.
Oh, the memories from nine years past
May they give a smile that will last.
As the years raise, sails on the mast,
Sailing us to other shores, too fast.
To hold a moment in our hands
Is hard because of where we stand.
We want to be still, a rock on land,
But that is often not how it’s planned.
So, remember now all things seen,
Smelled, felt, and comforting.
Knowing most will be only a sheen,
A glittering moment from which we have been.

There once was an actor of note,
Who thought he was so good he could float.
Upon the stage he did try
To levitate way up high,
And soon he was smaller than a mote.

There once was writer named Maxwell, /
Who wrote only about things factual. /
Imagination, he said, /
Was overrated and dead. /
Then he was eaten by a Pterodactyl.

O’ chair
Autumn takes a seat. /
Wild pumpkin vine entwining. /
Time, air, rain, and you.

“They would pair us like that,” the tick grumbled as he ate his croissant.

Windows
Wind eye to window. /
Open, closed, and shaded. /
Port to portal peek.
