Bright Autumn [Free Verse]

Photograph of a cemetery on a beautiful day in the Fall, taken in New Orleans, Louisiana.
I want a bright Autumn --
brisk & clear.

I want a colorful Fall,
not one in which cold gray
blanches all brilliant shades.

I want a windy Autumn:
full of movement that
swirls & lifts anything
that's light enough.

I want an Autumn that
draws people outside,
not one that pens them.

I don't mind a bite of cold
as long as I can see white
clouds float through blue skies.

Deceased [Free Verse]

Photograph taken in Greenwood Cemetery of New Orleans, Louisiana.
clouds drift over
the cemetery -

unseen by all those
upturned eyes.

What a glorious day
to be deceased!
