Holidays

The pumpkin laughs /

at the fat man trying to pass. /

The turkey flew the coop.

Legacy

Clouds and shadows painted /

With tints of winter sunlight. /

Bare limbs full of gray.

Summer’s passing

Bare heads hang empty, /

stalks and leaves brown and crispy. /

Spiders claim briskly.

Fall flowers

Paths of fall color /

Descending from summer /

Color winter’s way.
