vacant but for a gnawed
hickory nutshell.

gauge the drizzle by

Autumn Grasshopper [Tanka]
climbing grasshopper
clings to gently bouncing branch;
sure to fall
before the next crunchy leaf
succumbs to Autumn breezes.

garden lanterns catch light
that pierces bare woods.

through the Autumn,
one tree holds leaves longer,
then drops them faster.

Autumn [Lyric Poem]
The chill is here.
The sky never
bluer.
The colors turn,
with leaves ever
fewer.
Until a last
hanger-on yields
to a weak breeze.
