Spring might mean rebirth,
But fall colors remind me
The whole year's beauty.

Watching clouds drift past
The moon tonight, I'd like to
Drift along with them.

26 November 2017

Just before sunset,
Only a glimmer of light
Remains to be seen.

23 November 2017

A difficult time
To feel thankful. Or hopeful.
But, still, I do hope.

And where were you then,
Fifty-four years ago, what
Do you remember?

Anticipation...
Time with people too rarely
Seen brings us great joy.

About growing old...
Some days everything aches...knees,
Shoulders, back, feet, neck...

18 November 2017

Day-long thunder storms.
The dog is trying to hide;
I'm trying to sleep.

And the rain begins,
Drumming softly on the roof,
And rustling the leaves.

The leaves are falling
From the Japanese maple.
Soon it will be bare.

12 November 2017

A long, lazy day,
Watching rain soak the lawn and
Dozing in my chair,

11 November 2017

One hundred years gone
Since the guns fell silent.  Not,
I fear, forever.

9 November 2017

In the parking lot,
A crane--made of steel--lifting
Its load to the sky.

(Just this morning.)

6 November 2017

A quiet day--reading,
Napping, and petting the dog.
And now, off to sleep.

4 November 2017

Waiting for a while,
Hoping to sleep well tonight.
Not expecting to.

The leaves in autumn
Beneath the crabapple tree
Are nature's carpet.

A hawk on the fence,
Looking, waiting, but seeing
Nothing edible.

2 November 2017
I wanted to go get a camera, but knew
any movement by me would cause
the hawk to take off.  About 9 AM.

1 November 2017

And even with the mist,
The colors of autumn lit
An early morning
