Frost covered leaves on

ground and trees – an icy shift

to a new season.

                                                       JDG

Sun waves its wand, turns

frosty mornings into warm

 afternoon delight.

                                       JDG

Unimpressed by frost’s

cold kiss, deer gather for their

misty, morning meal.

                                                     JDG

Golden arms reaching

toward the sky, sheltering small

rabbit down below.

                                                        JDG

A single branch holds

dark shadow and bright light as

speckled leaves whisper.

                                                         JDG

An afternoon of

 raindrops and bright falling leaves –

autumn rhapsody.
