wispy cloud layer
across a gibbous moon
~ ~ ~ ~
the church garage sale
on the mourners' bench
old pocketbooks & porkpies
~ ~ ~ ~
a lone limb of green
on the yellow-leafed
tulip poplar
~ ~ ~ ~
indescribable colors
of sassafras
~ ~ ~ ~
from a tiny house
at the edge of the pond
he's fishing from the porch

BEWARE
First day
of deer season . . .
Not a good day to drive
the narrow, wooded mountainous
highway.
~ ~ ~ ~
sun in my face
but with the autumn tilt
it doesn't bother
