Autumn Moments Recited
AUTUMN MOMENTS
Over the stubble ,
carrion crows---
the gamekeeper heads
home for tea ;
apples overhang
the orchard wall;
drapes,about to fall
bright bonfire-coloured
leaves aglow
overnight,
the first heavy frost;
dahlia petals on the lawn,
dew-sodden;
in the October dawn
Michelmas
daises,limp and old,
midst fading leaves,
now spotted gold;
Summer petals
the landscape
in a scarlet shroud;
dank fog envelops
the night;
and hedgehogs snuggle
in dormant pose.
