“The morns are meeker than they were” (32) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]
The morns are meeker than they were --
The nuts are getting brown --
The berry's cheek is plumper --
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf --
The field a scarlet gown --
Lest I sh'd be old-fashioned
I'll put a trinket on.

roadside saplings
take Fall colors for a time,
before going bare;
the envy of humans:
at once young & old.

beside the stream,
sent leaves to the sea:
how far did they get?

Last Hurrah [Haiku]
with foliage thinned,
the grassy undergrowth gets
one last time to shine.
