Autumnal Announcements

a chill breeze
whispers of winter
a squirrel’s tale

a cool fog hovers
a snake lays motionless
awaiting the sun

a bell rings
yellow crusted kid pods
heed its call

September roses
blush at Winter’s entrance
a soft kiss goodbye

the Maple shivers
as a frost stings her fingers
spring sap withdrawn

a fading sun sighs
as Druids watch the shadows
the seasons unfold
((old stories retold))

Silkworms
knitting turtle necks
for earth worms
