Lone yellow jacket,
the warm days have passed; go rest
with all your sisters.

Drunk with recent rain,
rose hips congenially
bob their messy heads.

Late-blooming berries
blush self-consciously among
the thinning brambles.

An impossibly
slow display of fireworks;
sumac leaves alight.

A pack of arctic
foxes wag their proud white tails;
pampas grass in seed.

Summer mists weave their
gossamer strands into thick
webs of autumn rain.

The sun wrings out its
last ray of warmth before
the equinox arrives.

Reflection on a
harvest moon, golden mirror
to the sleeping sun.
Moon Festival #2
dusk tucks a drowsy
world in leaving on its light
yellow companion
Moon Festival #1
Reverberations
lightly ringing on the Sound;
cymbal of the night.

Eight legged guardian
weaves its dreamcatcher to feast
on children's nightmares.

A world made white, though
not with snow; autumn mist to
chill my aging bones.

The maple leaves dance
a delicate line between
fall and summertime.
09/13/2013 #4
Apparitions rise,
wrapping themselves in misty
cloaks a month too soon.

Dressed in white lanterns,
a strawberry tree awaits
the Moon Festival.

Bereaved of summer,
the heaving clouds grieve the
coming equinox.

A cutting moon slowly sweeps
its waning blade across the darkening
sky, harvesting the invisible
stalks that bind the heavenly fruit
to its deep, earthy root, a sickle
to sever the reigns that tame the sweaty
sun, freeing it from its long and
heavy summer labor.

A whisper on the
morning wind; leaves prepare to
play their autumn air.
