Trees, rooted and still,

line the road as cars speed by.

Birds watch from branches.

JDG

Brown leaves on gray ground.

Sun rises, birds squawk, dog sniffs, 

I shiver and walk.

JDG

Birds fed at seven.

All food gone by eleven.

Squirrels are in heaven.

JDG

Flashes of red, bursts

of blue – cardinals and bluejays –

fireworks flutter

JDG

It’s strange, really, how

 a shrunken world expands when

 bird song fills the air.

JDG

White fence lining green

field winks in the sun. Horses

contentedly graze.

JDG

The stars and moon greet

all of us here below with

messages of light.

JDG

Gentle breeze teases

fall leaves, making the woods fill

with soft, rustling sighs.

JDG

Early morning frost –

Autumn’s prelude to Winter’s

more challenging white.

JDG

Gusty winds scatter

colorful leaves, creating

a moving picture.
