Snow laden trees give

a sudden shiver, asking,

“Do you get my drift?”

Why am I talking?

The acronym “wait” should help –

sadly, it didn’t.

In supplication

or praise, trees raise outstretched limbs

and speak of winter.

                                                                                                                                                                           JDG

Sun met Frost today

and they had a sparkling talk

about what’s to come.

He wrote a check her

heart couldn’t cash since she knew

he was overdrawn.

Without aesthetics

or logic, there really is

no rhyme or reason.

Shades of Halloween

colored the sky. Crows circled,

croaking bleak greetings.

Halloween workout

scares goblins of weariness

away – a sweet treat.

Why didn’t I start

this years ago? I don’t know,

but I’m glad to do it now.

Autumn sky weeps, but

it’s hard to tell if it’s from

golden joy or grief.
