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roses blush at Winter’s entrance a soft kiss goodbye the Maple shivers as a frost stings her fingers spring sap withdrawn a fading sun sighs as Druids watch the shadows the seasons unfold ((old stories retold)) Silkworms knitting turtle necks for earth worms John G.
