Star struck, the moon glows
even brighter as it joins
them for an evening dance.

Leaf after leaf falls
to the ground leaving behind
the only home they have known.

casts its mysterious spell
softening all it touches.

It’s A Dog’s Life
With licks and tail wags
Knox lets me know
he’s glad I’m home.
Then he gently points out
his bowl is empty
and he’s been inside all day
while squirrels are allowed
to freely roam.

unsweet nothings in our ears,

we heard her the first time, and
now it’s time for her to go.

It’s That Time
Before the sun crests
the horizon, the word’s gone
out: it’s time to eat.
Inside the cats and dogs take note.
Outside the chirps grow louder.

Prominently Displayed
Ice on my windshield –
an early announcement that
the seasons have changed.

Awakening
Shimmering pond greets
the day as the sun rises
and gives her a kiss.

A Hot Debate
Following days of
negotiation, Summer
finally yields to Fall.

Through It All
In spite of each drop
that falls, the golden leaves still
shine – nature’s dual blessing.
