Ambience of autumn - poems

scenic moountain road
the pines' understory
all colors of fall
~~~~

unlawful
to blow leaves into the street
what about the wind?

feasting on beautyberries--
windy autumn day

Acorns
fall and windchimes
play. The cats chase oak leaves
skittering across the porch, and
acorns.
~~~~

An oak
leaf falls, is caught
in the mini-rose bush.
Two pots of pansies finally come
alive.
~~~~

Two crows
carp at something
near the pecan tree, which
reminds me: gather the fallen
pecans.
~~~~

Three crows
span the roadway
this early fall morning.
Whatever do they hope to prove
by this?

  1. Is it really against the law to blow leaves into the street? Happens here all the time…

  2. I read that in a traffic, etc. feature last Monday morning. Then, as I was driving to Hot Springs, the wind scooted the leaves into the roadway.

  3. Lots of good nature images in this list of poems.
