Autumn

AUTUMN

All summer
until equinox ~
toes in sand
under sun.
Months pass…October into
November. Autumn.

Last Dance of Summer

crisp night air gives way
to days filled with warm sunshine ~
leaves dance at my feet

SEVENLING by Mrs. C (Here Comes The Cold)

Crunch of autumn leaves underfoot
as crisp air turns cheeks pink.
Scent of a fireplace somewhere in the distance.

Snowstorms around the corner
with biting cold temps, cold stiff joints
and little sun.

Here comes the cold, and the Season of Hope for all.

LABOR OF LOVE

My story begins…
Mom was on her way to a
Labor Day picnic
when she went into labor.
She said it was “no picnic”.

LIVING IN THE MOMENT

balloons everywhere
smiling faces, bountiful;
a celebration
she’ll remember…if only
til the candles are blown out
