Branches toss,
fallen leaves skitter,
nuts descend,
pumpkins ripen,
mums shine,
folks don sweaters,
geese fly south,
cardinals stay
as Autumn struts its stuff.

Going with the flow
is fine unless you’re headed
for a waterfall.

Slowly the trees burst
into fireless flames and
set the land aglow.

Knox saw a spider
and invited it to play,
but the spider showed
no interest much to Knox’s
dismay. It just crawled away.
JDG
Hoping to invite fall,
I wore a light sweater
and watched as the leaves
began to fall. Who knows?
If this works, I might try
wearing a bathing suit in late December

Thought she was a goner,
but Summer came back,
causing Fall to flee.
The next thing you know,
fallen leaves might decide
to reattach to trees.

On this, our last walk of the day,
I greet the slowly rising moon
and welcome each star
as Knox enthusiastically
sniffs everything along the way.
JDG
The sun sings bright notes
and is joined by the moon in
a duet of opposites.

Today there was a bite in the air,
well, more like a nibble,
but I am so grateful
I won’t quibble.
JDG
Just when I thought
we were stepping in harmony,
a squirrel scampered by
and my thoughts and I
were left in the dust.
