Tiger Riding for Beginners

Traveling Poet Philosopher & Occasional Wiseacre

two rivers
flow together;
are they two?

a dandelion 
stands straight & tall,
daily eroding

one autumn tree
contains all the colors:
spring green to winter ____

the rain falls 
straight into the river…
evaporates to sky

the pine forest
catches the low autumn sun,
and i think, pennies.

thin canopy woods.
light hits the grassy ground
and it glows green

the sun rises
over the river,
worlds collide

before opening, 
a crow takes a table,
and demands service

a rotten log grows
a vibrant mushroom cluster —
soon to rot, itself

when Fall leaves are green 
and pale yellow, i get 
citrus autumn mind
