Summer Bleeds into Fall
Green sears into red,
slough summer bleeds into Fall –
framed season’s etched ridge.
Slowly smoking red
stains the corners of picture –
time’s brushed memory,
a moment smeared perfectly,
touch the rough edges, cut, bleed.
Fall at the Side of the Road
We had an appointment in Sudbury. The road and time stretched ahead, the minutes piled up with the line of vehicles waiting to take a turn – road construction built up the flow of seconds.
In a pause of motion, an early bit of Fall colour waited at the road side for the season to catch up.
When I was younger, I was not as old, my travel bag carried fewer memories –
leaves turn red, now Fall –
at the side of the road waits
a moment recall’d.
Somewhere that is Green
Wildflowers Dreaming before Arrival of Frost
Wildflowers dreaming
before arrival of Frost –
too early sharp edge
cuts a cold black line through green,
bright colours bleed, turn white , crack.
