with the needed rain
the struggling zinnias
revive until frost

maple leaf drifting
into ascorbic water
for peeled pears

scenic ridge
full of color last Monday
this Monday, all brown
~~~~
welcome rain
the dogwood seems to glow
with redness
~~~~
sycamore's mottled bark
showing through dying leaves
blustery north wind
